What are the requirements for becoming an AMS-IX member?
In order to be considered for an AMS-IX membership, you must meet the following 5 requirements: • You must be a recognised legal entity. • You must have an ASN (Autonomous System Number). The Applicant must have their own ASN assigned by a Regional Internet Registry, being either; RIPE-NCC, APNIC, LACNIC or ARIN OR by a Local Internet Registry. • The primary function of your business must be internet related. • You must have the intention to and be willing to sign an AMS-IX Connection Agreement. • You must have an agreement with your chosen Co-location. Before your port will be enabled at AMS-IX, you must have a contract with the co-locations of your choice! This rule always applies, even if your equipment is physically located at another location and a third party is providing you with connection services to the housing locations.
