Being a member of the CPA scheme, there is NO
need to submit filter update in any form, we accept
all route prefixes advertised by the peer until
a maximum number of prefixes ( default
5000 ) is reached.
2. Who can Join?
HKIX members who are using AS filtering and advertising
more than 2500 prefixes for 200+ different ASes
to the HKIX are entitled to apply for the Closer
Peering Arrangement (CPA) with the route server.
3. Protection for other
HKIX Members
In order to protect other HKIX members, the
route server will close the BGP connection if
the maximum number of prefixes is reached and we do not receive any notice from the member
under the CPA Scheme well in advance.

members of the CPA Scheme
HKIX members under the CPA scheme are responsible
for the accuracy and quality of routes being advertised
