NetStream Communications™ maintains an open peering policy and does not require a signed peering agreement from its peers. However, it does expect that its peers will keep in line with a few straight forward policies:
| • |
Must maintain a 24x7x365 NOC which can be contacted either via phone or email. The given NOC must have either access or a clear escalation path to identify and resolve network problems and DoS attacks sourcing from their network. |
| |
| • |
Potential peers must not be an existing downstream customer of NetStream. Additionally, peers must not have been a customer of NetStream within the last 6 months or maintain an outstanding balance. |
| |
| • |
Interconnections with peers must be a minimum of 100Mbps, 1000Mbps preferred. Peers must maintain ample capacity to ensure no latency is incurred due to link saturation. |
| |
| • |
Peers must not configure a default or static route or other means to send traffic to NetStream for a route that is not advertised by NetStream at that interconnection point. |
| |
| • |
NetStream reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend any or all peering with any network without prior notice if that peer is causing operational damage to inbound/outbound traffic of NetStream or its downstream customers. |
