Route Server
The SON-IX operates two fully redundant route servers for route exchange between peers. Every SON-IX peer can peer on the route servers free of charge. This simplifies the exchange of routes between the different peers. We rely on arouteserver, the provision of new peers is automated.

Communities
Operational Communities
We support the following communities, which can be used to control traffic through the peer. If you need more communities, please contact us! For compatibility reasons, we also offer some of these communities as standard communities.
| Large Community | Standard Community | Description |

| 59952:0:$AS | 0:$AS | This route is advertised to $AS |
| 59952:1:$AS | 59952:$AS | This route is only advertised to $AS (only in combination with 59952:0:0) |
