<div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 mx-auto blog-content"> <p>ISC has deployed numerous <a title="F-Root" href="/f-root">F-Root nameserver</a> nodes, using an anycast routing setup.</p> <p>These nodes are usually deployed at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), and network operators are welcome to peer with us at IXPs to improve their access to the Root Server System.</p> <h5 id="peering-policy">Peering Policy</h5> <p>F-Root operates an open peering policy, however we do not peer with networks that are not present in <a href="https://peeringdb.com/" target="_blank">PeeringDB</a>, or whose records are not maintained.</p> <p>F-Root reserves the right to discontinue peering with networks whose listed contacts do not respond appropriately to reports of network abuse, or those that do not follow the technical guidelines for propagation of the F-Root IP networks, as described below.</p> <h6 id="contact-information">Contact Information</h6> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>Peering requests</td> <td><a href="mailto:peering@isc.org">peering@isc.org</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>NOC e-mail</td> <td><a href="mailto:noc@isc.org">noc@isc.org</a> (preferred over phone calls)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>NOC phone</td> <td>+1 650 423 1310 (emergencies only)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h5 id="peering-locations-and-details">Peering Locations and Details</h5> <p>We keep our <a href="https://peeringdb.com/" target="_blank">PeeringDB</a> records current with our up-to-date locations and peering details.</p> <p>To see the list of F-Root locations, you can find ISC’s organization record <a href="https://www.peeringdb.com/org/1330" taget="_blank">here</a> in PeeringDB (or search for “Internet Systems Consortium”).</p> <p>On the right hand side you’ll see a long list of “Networks”, including all F-Root locations.</p> <h5 id="finding-common-ixps">Finding common IXPs</h5> <p>Wherever available, F-root nodes peer with the routeservers at each IXP at which we are present. If a network operator feels the need to set up direct BGP sessions, we are happy to peer directly.</p> <p>In order to find IXPs at which you cuould peer with F-Root, be aware that F-Root uses a different peering ASN at each location. As such the well known <code>peerfinder</code> tool will not find the intersections.</p> <p>Instead, we have written and published a Python tool named <a href="https://github.com/isc-projects/pdb-intersect" target="_blank"><code>pdb-intersect</code></a> that you can install and run. It essentially starts at the organization level and drills down from there.</p> <p>Once installed, it’s run simply by:</p> <pre><code>pdb-intersect <your-asn> 3557 </code></pre> <p>It will output ASN and IP info for each common interconnection point.</p> <h5 id="routing-policy">Routing Policy</h5> <p>Networks that filter based on Routing Registry objects should use <code>AS-FROOT</code> (RaDB) as the filter object. (The local peering ASN usually has an <code>AS<asn>:AS-SET</code> record, but since it’s not exporting anything, that’s of no use.)</p> <p>ISC operates a few Global Nodes for the F-Root service at core locations. Global nodes advertise 192.5.4.0/23 and 2001:500:2e::/47 into the default-free zone via Tier 1 transit operators. We do not exchange these prefixes with peers.</p> <p>The majority of F-Root nodes are Local Nodes that are intended to serve the local community. Local nodes advertise the more specific prefixes 192.5.5.0/24 and 2001:500:2f::/48 to peers, and set the well-known community <code>NO_EXPORT</code>.</p> <p>All peers are required to ensure that they do not announce our prefixes into the default-free zone. If this requires the use of alternative BGP communities this can be arranged on request to our NOC.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section>   <footer class="bg-cover footer"> <div class="footer-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-3 mb-5 col-sm-6"> <h4 class="h5 text-white mb-4">Software</h4> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/stork/">Stork Graphical Management for Kea DHCP</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/bind/">BIND 9</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/kea/">Kea DHCP</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/dhcp/">ISC DHCP</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 mb-5 col-sm-6"> <h4 class="h5 text-white mb-4">Technical Resources</h4> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="https://kb.isc.org">ISC Technical Knowledgebase</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00913">BIND 9 Security Vulnerability Matrix</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects">Source Repository</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="https://ednscomp.isc.org">EDNS Compliance Test Tool</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/licenses">ISC Software Licenses</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/dns-tools">DNS Tools</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/dhcp-tools">ISC DHCP Tools</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/kea-tools">Kea & IPv6 Tools</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/usgovt">US Government Resources</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 mb-5 col-sm-6"> <h4 class="h5 text-white mb-4">Other ISC Services</h4> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/f-root">F-Root</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 mb-5 col-sm-6"> <h4 class="h5 text-white mb-4">Our Company</h4> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/blogs">Blog</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/contact">Contact</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/privacy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/conductreporting">Code of Conduct</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/about">ISC鈥檚 Mission</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="/careers">Work for ISC</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href="https://internet-systems-consortium.myshopify.com/">ISC's Swag Store</a></li> <li><a class="text-white opacity-5" href='/index.xml' target="_blank">RSS Feed</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-4 mb-5 col-sm-6 order-3 order-lg-1"> <a href="/"><img class="img-fluid" src="/images/logo.png" alt="ISC"></a> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 mb-5 col-sm-6 order-1 order-lg-2"> <h5 class="text-white mb-4">ADDRESS</h5> <p class="text-white opacity-5">PO Box 360 <br> Newmarket, NH 03857 USA</p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 mb-5 col-sm-6 order-2 order-lg-3"> <h5 class="text-white mb-4">CONTACT</h5> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li class="text-white opacity-5">Email: info@isc.org</li> <li class="text-white opacity-5">Phone: +1 650 423 1300</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="copyright pt-4"> <div class="container"> <div class="row align-items-center"> <div class="col-md-7"> <p class="text-white mb-0 text-center text-md-left mb-3 mb-md-3 opacity-5">漏<script>var CurrentYear = new Date().getFullYear() document.write(CurrentYear)</script> Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.</p> </div> <div class="col-md-5"> <ul class="list-inline text-md-right text-center social-icon"> <li class="list-inline-item"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/InternetSystemsConsortium/" aria-label="Follow us on Facebook" ><i class="ti-facebook"></i></a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@iscdotorg" aria-label="Follow us on Fosstodon" ><i class="ti-comments"></i></a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ISCdotorg" aria-label="Follow us on Youtube" ><i class="ti-youtube"></i></a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/internet-systems-consortium/" aria-label="Follow us on LinkedIn" ><i class="ti-linkedin"></i></a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><a href="https://isc.org/index.xml" aria-label="Follow us on RSS" ><i class="ti-rss"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer>  <script defer src="/js/bundle.js"></script> <script> (function() { var el = document.createElement('link');
