Members may only connect equipment which they own and operate themselves to the UIXP. They may not connect equipment on behalf of third parties.
Members may only utilize a single layer-2 MAC address to place a single layer-3 router per port allocated from the UIXP switch fabric unless by prior agreement of the board. The procedure for interconnecting a layer-2 device to the UIXP shall be as follows: a technical proposal shall be made to the board, accompanied by full documentation. This documentation shall be published on the announcement mailing list and the UIXP web site for comment by the members and the public for a period of no less than two weeks, whereupon the board shall determine whether the member is allowed to perform the proposed interconnection. No more than one such proposal shall be entertained at a time, and any subsequent modifications to the interconnected equipment shall be similarly approved by the board. The member and the board shall be jointly responsible for maintaining full documentation of all layer-2 devices comprising the switch fabric, and such documentation shall always be available on the UIXP web site.
Members shall not advertise routes other than their own, without the prior written permission of the assigned holder of the address space.
Members shall not advertise a next-hop other than their own.
Members must, on all interfaces connected to the UIXP switch fabric, disable Proxy ARP, ICMP redirect, CDP, IRDP, directed broadcasts, IEEE802 Spanning Tree, any interior routing protocol broadcasts, and any MAC layer broadcasts other than ARP or inverse-ARP.
Members must, on all interfaces connected to the UIXP switch fabric, disable any duplex, speed, or other link parameter auto-sensing.
Members must set netmasks on all interfaces connected to the UIXP to include the entire UIXP peering LAN.
Members must clearly label all equipment which resides at the UIXP facility with ownership and contact information.
Members should not routinely use the UIXP switch fabric for carrying traffic between their own routers.
