The BittenBytes network

The BittenBytes network — AS213052 — is a production network, registered as RIPE NCC LIR ORG-BW80-RIPE, running IPv4 and IPv6 and peering at multiple Internet Exchanges.

Network overview

Peering

BittenBytes maintains an open peering policy. We peer at multiple Internet Exchanges; the full list of locations and peering addresses is on PeeringDB.

Peering requests can be submitted through the peering portal. Sign in with your PeeringDB account and request sessions at the exchanges we share.

For more details, see the peering policy.

Routing security

We apply RPKI origin validation and drop routes with an Invalid RPKI state. Validation runs on Routinator.

Looking glass

A public looking glass, powered by bgp.tools, is available at lg.as213052.net. Use it to look up routes, check BGP path selection and verify prefix reachability.

BGP communities

Large BGP communities are used for origin tagging and traffic engineering. See the full reference on the BGP communities page.

LIR services

BittenBytes is a RIPE NCC LIR and sponsors AS numbers, PI address space and IPv6 PA blocks for organisations established in Europe. Details on the LIR services page.

Maintenance and status

Network maintenance is usually carried out between 00:00 and 07:00. The exact window depends on the customer; other maintenance is scheduled together with the customer. All maintenance is announced on the status page.
