Criteria for membership |
|
Cost of membership |
SOX functions on a not-for-profit basis, and does not currently impose any charges for membership. However, SOX reserves the right to do so when it becomes necessary. |
Revoking membership |
SOX reserves the right to revoke SOX Membership if members are found to act irresponsibly and/or breach exchange rules and regulations after repeated warnings. |
Applying for membership |
Please email enquiry@sox.net.sg with application details. Required details are:
Organization Name, URL, ASN, NOC email and Peering Email will be listed in the SOX Member Directory. Members will be provided with an SOX IP address to be used for peering, which will be mapped to a reverse DNS of [organization-name]-gw.sox.net.sg. For example, NUS' assigned SOX peering IP will correspond to nus-gw.sox.net.sg. Members are also advised to update their peering information on www.peeringdb.com. |
Connecting to SOX |
Members can connect to SOX at any SOX Node. Unless there are very specific circumstances (such as extremely high peering traffic expected at a particular extension node), participants are encouraged to connect directly to the SOX Extension Node: Global Switch Singapore.
|
Supported connection types |
SOX provides the following Ethernet options at both nodes, subject to cabling distance and port availability.
|
Connection Lead-time |
SOX is typically able to complete the provisioning of new connections within 3 weeks, from the time all available information is received, subject to availability of interfaces/ GBICs/ SFPs. |
