                                  Networks that would like to connect to AtlanticWave must first be connected to
one or more of the four AtlanticWave XPs. If your network is not already
connected to one of the AtlanticWave XPs, contact information for each AtlanticWave
XP is available by selecting the corresponding link above.
 
 If your network is connected to one or more of the AtlanticWave XPs and
you want to use AtlanticWave to peer with another AtlanticWave User at one of
the other AtlanticWave XPs, please contact the Manager of the XP to which
your network is connected to arrange for such service. You will be
asked to complete a “Request for AtlanticWave International Peering
Service” form, which you can obtain below.
 This request form will ask for
                                key information, including the name of the network
                                with which you would like to peer and which AtlanticWave
                                XP that AtlanticWave User is connected to. After
                                receiving the completed form, the XP Manager
                                will work with the AtlanticWave operations coordinator
                                and the other XP Manager(s) to establish a vLAN
                              the layer-2 connection requested.

                                    projects  In addition to the International
                                Peering service for networks described to the
                              left, Atlantic Wave is interested in supporting
                                special projects. Network research projects
                                and experiments are anticipated
                                to be the primary special projects that Atlantic
                                Wave is intended to support.
 
 Special projects share the same infrastructure
                                as the production service. Therefore, special
                                projects must be designed to be non-disruptive
                                and might be refused or discontinued if they
                                conflict with bandwidth needed by the primary
                                peering activities.
 
 Special projects requests should include a brief
                                description of the project, start date, duration,
                                estimated bandwidth, exchange points (XPs) involved,
                                statement of potential for disruption, and networks
                                involved. Users interested
                                in such scheduled, temporary, and special project-based
                                uses of AtlanticWave should send their requests
                                to their XP operator or mailto:request@atlanticwave.net.
