An open and settlement-free peering policy is encouraged at AqabaIX but not compulsory. The only routing protocol allowed on the peering LAN is BGP.
Different Order Form also applies for ports that are additionally ordered (upgrades) after the signing of the first Order Form between AqabaIX and Participant.
