as215011

We currently administrate the Asynchronous System (AS)215011, announcing multiple IPv6 prefixes.

The as215011 network is currently IPv6-only and is connected to multiple Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) in Europe. It is used for conducting routing and peering experiments and can also be combined with the nxthdr probing platform to perform active measurements while controlling prefix announcements during experiments. Additionally, it is possible to peer with as215011 for experimental or non-commercial purposes.

The as215011 network is used to provide connectivity to the nxthdr infrastructure, allowing us to dogfood our own network.

Routing data collected by as215011 routers is made freely available to everyone for analysis.

We embrace a radical transparency approach, so you can view the full configuration of as215011 routers. If you identify a security issue, please feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request in the repository. Alternatively, you can join our Discord server or email us at admin@nxthdr.dev.

Peering Policy

as215011 operates an open peering policy and can also provide transit for other ASes, either through direct peering at IXPs or via a WireGuard tunnel. We enforce RPKI filtering with a refresh interval of 900 seconds.
