Static Routing Policy

This document outlines Frontier policy when performing customer static routing. The policies herein are designed with the intent of maintaining Frontier as a good internet citizen, reducing possible routing problems internet wide, and to reduce the possibility of legal implications of originating IP prefixes foreign to Frontier's network.

Frontier will only static route Frontier owned net-blocks if the following criteria are met:

  1. Frontier's IP Admin has assigned a net-block from an Frontier CIDR block, and the net-block has a valid SWIP record reflecting its proper sub-delegation.

    Note: Net-blocks delegated and routed to Frontier customers within Frontier CIDR blocks will be advertised to Frontier peers as aggregate CIDR blocks only and will not be advertised individually.

Frontier will only static route net-blocks foreign to Frontier's network if their prefix length is less than or equal to /24 and one of the following criteria are met:

  1. The net-block has been delegated to the customer directly by ARIN (or similar registry) and the customer has provided LOA to Frontier indicating that it is acceptable for Frontier to route the net-block.
  2. The net-block has been sub-delegated by another upstream of the customer, the sub-delegation has been SWIP'd to that customer, and the customer has provided LOA to Frontier indicating that it is acceptable for Frontier to route the net-block.
  3. The net-block has been directly delegated by ARIN (or similar registry) to another organization and that organization has provided LOA to Frontier indicating that it is acceptable for Frontier to route the net-block.
