Services
As a member of FCIX, participants get direct access to services provided by other members of the Cabal.
Route Servers
FCIX operates two route servers on .253 and .254 to aid in ramping new members into the FCIX BGP community quickly. Addressing and ASN information for the route servers are listed on the participants page. These route servers enforce IRR-based route filtering, as well as several communities to suppress or prepend routes to other peers using the route servers.
Google Global Cache
A Google Global Cache node is hosted by PhirePhly Design, AS7034, for the benefit of FCIX participants. GGC nodes cache popular Google content, including YouTube, etc, to be served locally. All routes advertised to the FCIX route servers, or AS7034 directly, will be served by this GGC node, with the following exceptions:
- Any routes tagged with the community
7034:8000
to exclude them from being advertised to the GGC node. - Any routes tagged with the
no-export
community (65281:7034
will add this community specifically towards AS7034) - Any routes from AS6939, because they’re huge.
