Frequently Asked Questions.

What is PeeringBD?

PeeringBD is a freely available, user-maintained, database of networks, and the go-to location for interconnection data. The database facilitates the Local interconnection of networks at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), data centers, and other interconnection facilities, and is the first stop in making interconnection decisions.

The database is a non-profit, community-driven initiative run and promoted by volunteers. It is a public tool for the growth and good of the Internet. Join the community and support the continued development of the Internet.

Affiliation requests

Q: How does affiliation to an organization work?
A: After you have registered, go to your profile.

If your organization owns a network (also called AS or ASN), type in the AS number into the field ASN. Then click on the button Affiliate.

If your ASN already is in PeeringBD and your org record does not yet have an admin account this request will be sent to PeeringBD Support.

If your organisation already has one or more admins your request is forwarded to them. They will have to approve / deny your request.

If your ASN is not in PeeringBD this procedure will first try to retrieve information about this ASN via RDAP to prepopulate the net record and the org record in case it also does not exist. We also use information from this query to auto approve your request if the email address in the RDAP record matches your email address. If this fails your request will be sent to PeeringBD Support.

You may also use the field organisationto request affiliation to an existing or new organisation. Start typing the name of your company and select from the popup or create a new organisation. Your request is sent to your admins if there is one or to PeeringBD Support otherwise

In any case you should get an answer either from your admin or PeeringBD Support. If you don't get an answer within two working days, please mail PeeringBD Support providing necessary information (ASN, Organization). Technical
