Coloclue (AS8283) Peering Relation Repository
What is Coloclue?
Coloclue (AS 8283) is a non-profit association based in the Netherlands, serving a very specific market segment: the association is run by, and for, network engineers from the Dutch ISP scene, entirely driven by volunteers.
These engineers prefer to host their gear at some other place than their employer. This benefits them hugely in troubleshooting and provides for a neutral environment.
How to peer?
If you are connected to AMS-IX or NL-IX you can set up BGP sessions with AS8283.
Make sure you accept AS-COLOCLUE
(50 prefixes max).
Add yourself to the peers.yaml
file and submit a pull request to this
repository. Once a network engineer validates your pull request and merges it
into the master branch, the peering session will automatically be configured on
our routers within an hour or so.
The peers.yaml
format should be fairly self-explanatory, but when in doubt do
not hesitate to contact routers@coloclue.net.
Note: peers.yaml
is indented by 4 spaces. This needs to be used
consistently across the file. Failing to do so will result in invalid YAML.

Routing Policy
Coloclue (AS8283) has a fairly open peering policy, but we do have a non-traditional routing policy:
* All peers' prefixes are filtered based on strict RPSL
* Same local preference for peers/downstream/upstream
* Prefix filters facing peers are updated every 12 hours from RADB
