Routing security

Maharlika IX has been a participant in the MANRS programme for Internet exchanges since 28 September 2026.

MANRS at Maharlika IX

  • Route servers that filter

    Both route servers check every announcement against RPKI and, where a member has an IRR filter, against its IRR data. Routes that fail are rejected.

    Route server policy

  • A protected peering LAN

    Member ports carry peering traffic only, and one MAC address per port is enforced.

    Peering LAN policy

  • Help with routing records

    We help members register their IRR objects and RPKI ROAs before they start peering.

Port pricing

Monthly port charges in Philippine pesos. The 1G community port is free for eligible networks.

What is included

Port charges cover peering access, not internet transit. Cross-connect, transport, colocation, setup fees and taxes are quoted separately.

How to connect

Any network with a public ASN can apply; requests are assessed against our technical requirements, network capability and the policies of the exchange. Connecting takes three steps. The peering guide covers each one in detail.

  1. Tell us about your network

    Share your ASN, preferred location, port speed, and whether you’d like to use our route servers.

  2. Confirm your connection

    We confirm the facility, port, and cross-connect details, then send your connection information and welcome guide.

  3. Connect and go live

    Connect your port, establish your BGP sessions, and start exchanging traffic.
