How to use this tool
PeeringDB Presence Lookup: interpretation and next steps
PeeringDB Presence Lookup reads a network's public peering record: policy, published prefix limits, listed IXPs, listed facilities, and contact-facing metadata. Use it to prepare a peering conversation, not to assume an arrangement exists.
What this check answers
PeeringDB is self-published operational information. A listed IXP presence or open policy is an invitation to investigate eligibility, not a promise of a session or free transit.
Workflow
- Enter an ASN.
- Review policy, traffic class, listed IXP/facility presence, and published prefix limits.
- Use the network website or stated policy for the actual peering request process.
Example and limits
Before contacting a network, compare your expected prefix count with its published limits and check whether its policy is Open, Selective, or Restrictive.
- Entries can be incomplete or stale.
- A listed IXP or facility does not identify an exact port or guarantee capacity.
Frequently asked questions
Does an Open policy guarantee peering?
No. Technical, capacity, and local policy checks still apply.
Can I request a session from this page?
No. Follow the network's listed policy or public contact process.
Why no record?
The ASN may not maintain a public PeeringDB entry.
