TojikTelecom — IXP
Sugd
Thanks to participation in TJ-IX, communication operators and content suppliers can form the most effective and stable circuits of inter-sequences.
Technical Requirements for a TJ-IX Peering Platform Participant
Clear indication of port speed and module type
It is necessary to specify: 10G, 40G, 100G to correctly select equipment and ensure physical compatibility.
Autonomous System (AS) number
Using BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is required; without an AS number, it is impossible to participate in route exchange.
Routing Policy and Route-object in RIPE NCC
Required to confirm which IP prefixes you are authorized to announce. This ensures transparency and control.
Route symmetry via Route Server (RS)
You must announce your routes according to the published policy to avoid asymmetric (one-way) routing.
Disabling unnecessary Layer 2 protocols
Disable ARP, LLDP, CDP, STP, and other Layer 2 traffic on IX ports to avoid broadcast storms and loops.
Providing MAC addresses
Needed to configure filtering on IX switches and prevent MAC spoofing.
Use of only allocated TJ-IX IP addresses
Using your own or foreign IPs is not allowed, as it violates the IX architecture.
No announcement of IX routes to other operators
Avoid route leaks that violate the IX structure.
No announcement of client networks without permission
Protects client routes from being leaked without their consent.
