Introduction
This policy outlines the requirements for parties that wish to peer with Amazon’s AS16509 network and any downstream networks on a settlement free basis. Amazon peers utilizing public internet exchange points (“IXP”) and private network interconnection (“PNI”). A list of Amazon’s public peering exchange points and private peering facilities can be found on the Amazon.com AS16509 profile at peeringdb.com. Amazon advertises routes selectively at each location depending on factors like the location’s proximity to AWS Regions and service endpoints, and may advertise, withdraw, or cease advertising routes in its discretion in order to maintain availability, redistribute traffic, or mitigate abuse.
Peering with Amazon under this policy is not a service offering, does not establish a contractual relationship, and is not subject to any service level agreements or network availability or other guarantees. Amazon may modify or make exceptions to this policy at any time. Parties who are interested in receiving supported and managed connectivity with routes to the entire Amazon network should consider AWS Direct Connect.
