Google has https://peering.google.com/ https://peering.google.com/ for that purpose. My understanding is that it provides similar tooling for ASNs that have a relationship (peering, etc.) with Google ASNs.
- walrus01 8y agoYes, Google is pretty easy to peer with. At major public IXes they will bring up their V4 and v6 sessions on their side before yours, and leave them in an enabled state, since they use a suite of automation tools to manage traffic flows to regional peers. This makes it easy to bring up the session on your side and immediately see routes and live bgp prefix exchanges going both directions without having to interact with their noc. Given the number of peers that they have around the world, it would be very labor intensive to hand craft a bgp session config and leave it in a down state until mutual noc contact was made to bring it live. They obviously have a great interest in getting traffic like YouTube videos to the residential/commercial downstream eyeball ISP end users as efficiently as possible.
