Notes With AS 3856 we collect, archive, and display peering routes from exchanges around the world. With AS 42, we do Anycast hosting for Root-Servers and about 110 gTLDs/ccTLDs.

For maximum performance and reliability for the TLD servers we host, we attempt to peer with all participants at each exchange. The volume of traffic associated with these services is very small, but we believe it to be particularly valuable.
Protocols Supported Unicast IPv4            Multicast            IPv6
