I've sent messages to GitHub three times for a peering agreement and haven't gotten any response. They don't peer with the route servers at the IX we're at, and PeeringDB shows they have an "Open" peering policy. Anyone have any advice? -- Elijah Zeida | AirBridge Broadband - Network Engineer Office: 208-494-4343 | Direct: 208-494-1260 https://airbridgebroadband.com | 231 W Main St, Grangeville, ID 83530
Dumb question, but what is the traffic volume you are receiving from them? I am probably beating a dead horse, but it seems like the larger content networks will ignore unless a significant amount of traffic to/from the ASN in question is riding over transit. Something like a few hundred megs or even a gigabit may be a lot to you, but to others, it may be too small, and not worth the administrative overhead or usage on their IX port(s). Conversely, anything over a couple gigs may be too large for their IX ports and a PNI may be advantageous instead.

That's a good question, of which I don't know the answer. That could be it, maybe we just don't do enough traffic to warrant a peering agreement over the IX. It would be nice if I got a response one way or another though, rather than just silence. On 8/22/2024 6:17 PM, Tim Burke wrote:
