For small ASNs and large ideas. Peering as it should be — expensive open, plain text, fewer meetings.

Manifesto_

The internet got boring. Big transit, big peering rooms, big rate cards. We don't run any of those. We run this.

PREFIX.lol is an open exchange for the smallest ASNs and the weirdest projects. If you got a /24 in 2025 because somebody on a forum had a spare, if your «router» is a $30 box on a kitchen shelf, if you read RFCs for fun — you belong on the fabric.

We exist for home networks brave enough to apply for an ASN, students learning BGP from PCAPs, and people who think peering meetings still belong at 3 am after a few beers. We are not a startup. We are not a non-profit. We are an exchange.

Open peering by default. Route server first, bilateral if you must.
IPv6 not as marketing. As the default.
RPKI strongly encouraged. Bogons rejected without remorse.
No member dues, no setup fee, no annual gala dinner.
If you break the fabric, we will write a postmortem. With your name in it.

Peering

Route Server

primary fabric

ASN: AS26954
IPv4: 10.214.0.1
IPv6: 2a0b:4e04:ff::1
MD5: none — this is 2026
MTU: 1500 (jumbo on request)

Requirements

read before you ask

A real ASN. A real prefix. RIR-issued, not vibes.
PeeringDB record updated this decade.
RPKI ROAs published for everything you'll announce.
One BGP session, one operator email that humans actually read.
No default routes, no full tables, no transit through us. We're an IX.

BGP Communities

informational

26954:0	Do not announce to any peer
26954:1	Announce to all (default)
26954:666	Blackhole this prefix
26954:<peer-as>	Announce only to this peer

Policy

Peering Policy

Open. The route server will accept your session if the boxes below are checked. We do not negotiate. We do not have an account manager. You either match the policy or you don't.

Origin AS validation: RPKI valid + IRR present
Max-prefix: announced count × 4, capped at 50
No prefix shorter than /24 (v4) or /48 (v6)
No prefixes you don't hold. Yes, we check.

Anti-Abuse

If your prefix is the source of spam, scans, amplification, or any flavour of traffic that the operator community quietly dislikes, the route server will quietly stop accepting it.

One warning, one hour. Then filter.
Repeated abuse: indefinite filter + the postmortem mentioned earlier.
Reports: noc@prefix.lol — read by a human.
RPKI invalid? Rejected. Bogon? Rejected. AS_PATH containing <our ASN>? Definitely rejected.

Acceptable Use

The fabric is for routing packets. It is not for tunneling around your transit's filter, hosting a control plane for a botnet, or "stress testing" anyone. Use the internet the way it was meant: badly, but with intent.
