Settlement-Free Interconnection Policy
‍
Pilot operates Autonomous System Number AS46450. The following policy outlines our general guidelines for settlement-free interconnection. We maintain a selective policy, and meeting the requirements set forth in this document does not guarantee interconnection with Pilot. We do not make decisions solely on factors such as volume of traffic, number of downstream networks, or geographic scope of network. All requests that meet the following criteria will be reviewed and evaluated to determine if the outcome of settlement-free interconnect is mutually beneficial.
