PeeringDB Data Ownership Policy Document<br>
<br>
Date: TBD<br>
Version: 0.20200227.2-CC-WM<br>
<br>
1) Background<br>
<br>
The Data Ownership Task Force was established in September, 2019, with the <br>
aim of working on a PeeringDB Policy proposal about data ownership, after <br>
a need was recognized by the Product Committee as issues consistently had <br>
been raised relating to who owns the data in PeeringDB when more than one <br>
party is involved (ex: netixlan, ixfac, netfac).<br>
<br>
A call for participation to the Task Force was made on September 10th, <br>
2019.<br>
<br>
2) Scope<br>
<br>
The Data Ownership Task Force is established to discuss and agree on who <br>
owns the data tokens and/or objects in PeeringDB. Their agreements, <br>
findings, and any sort of recommendations will be documented in a Policy <br>
Document as a direct outcome of the Task Force.<br>
<br>
This Policy Document will include a clear description of each data element <br>
and the relation between each other, as well as who should be allowed to <br>
create, update, and delete them.<br>
<br>
The Task Force is estimated to conclude its work within about 6 months <br>
from its inception, which was September 2019. This time frame will be <br>
extended if the Task Force needs more time to conclude its work.<br>
<br>
The resulting Policy Document will be announced and shared with the <br>
PeeringDB Community.<br>
<br>
After the publishing of the Policy Document, the Task Force will end.<br>
<br>
3) Overarching Principles<br>
<br>
3.1) Purpose of PeeringDB<br>
<br>
>From <a href="https://www.peeringdb.com/about" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.peeringdb.com/about</a> as of February 26th, 2020:<br>
<br>
- PeeringDB, as the name suggests, was set up to facilitate peering <br>
between networks and peering coordinators. In recent years, the vision <br>
of PeeringDB has developed to keep up with the speed and diverse manner <br>
in which the Internet is growing. The database is no longer just for <br>
peering and peering related information. It now includes all types of <br>
interconnection data for networks, clouds, services, and enterprise, as <br>
well as interconnection facilities that are developing at the edge of <br>
the Internet.<br>
<br>
- We believe in, and rely on the community to grow and improve the <br>
PeeringDB database. The volunteers who run the database are passionate <br>
about security, privacy, integrity, and validation of the data in the <br>
database. Even though PeeringDB is a freely available and public tool, <br>
users strictly adhere to the acceptable use policy <br>
(<a href="https://www.peeringdb.com/aup" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.peeringdb.com/aup</a>), which prevents the database being used <br>
for commercial purposes and discourages unsolicited communications. <br>
This is largely policed by the community and has been very effective <br>
since PeeringDB was launched.<br>
<br>
3.2) Expectations<br>
<br>
- Data is expected to be consistent and correct following good <br>
engineering.<br>
<br>
- Users are expected to keep their Organization's data current.<br>
<br>
3.3) Admin Committee<br>
<br>
The PeeringDB Admin Committee may alter data. This is done because as a <br>
community we want to make sure we have good quality data. Depending on the <br>
circumstances, data may be deleted, hidden, overridden, or flagged. The <br>
Admin Committee may perform research and/or involve multiple parties in <br>
order help resolve matters.<br>
<br>
The Admin Committee has their own ticketing and logging systems as they <br>
deal with user data. The Task Force recommends this practice continue as <br>
having audit trails of all data is good practice.<br>
<br>
3.4) Conflicted Data<br>
<br>
In some cases ownership of data elements may not be either/or, but rather <br>
may be nuanced. For example, an Internet Exchange (IX) may have shared an <br>
IP assignment with a new participant in advance of updating the IX's <br>
public records, some of which may be processed by PeeringDB in an <br>
automated fashion. This can result in a conflict based on PeeringDB <br>
receiving differing information from two sources.<br>
<br>
4) High Level Data Descriptions<br>
<br>
PeeringDB's mission is to facilitate the exchange of user-maintained <br>
interconnection related information. This information is presented in data <br>
relating to entities known mainly as Organizations, Points of Contact, <br>
Facilities, Internet Exchanges, and Networks in the Internet industry. <br>
Derived from that is data relating to where Networks and IXs are located, <br>
and to which IXs, Networks are connected to.<br>
<br>
4.1) Organizations<br>
<br>
PeeringDB uses the term Organization to refer to the holding entity for <br>
any number of IXs, Facilities, and Networks.<br>
<br>
4.2) Points of Contact<br>
<br>
PeeringDB uses the term Point of Contact to refer to individuals or roles <br>
along with optional name, email, and telephone information.<br>
<br>
4.3) Facilities<br>
<br>
PeeringDB uses the term Facility to record data centers which are <br>
centralized locations where computing and networking equipment of tenants <br>
are located. Within the scope of PeeringDB, Facilities can house IXs and <br>
Networks, and these entities can establish interconnection.<br>
<br>
In the current implementation of PeeringDB, Facilities are <br>
referenced in "fac", "ixfac", and "netfac" objects.<br>
<br>
One can find the following as the major information among Facility <br>
records:<br>
<br>
- the relevant Organization managing the Facility - ("org"),<br>
<br>
- IXs and Networks at the Facility - ("ixfac", "netfac")<br>
<br>
4.4) Internet Exchanges<br>
<br>
The definition of an IX or Internet Exchange Point is beyond the scope of <br>
this document. At a minimum, an IX is a communications fabric where <br>
independent networks may engage in Internet Protocol peering - exchange of <br>
Internet data.<br>
<br>
PeeringDB provides methods for both IXs and Networks to indicate the <br>
participation of a network at an IX.<br>
<br>
IXs may be present at one or more Facilities, and may indicate this in <br>
PeeringDB.<br>
<br>
In the current implementation of PeeringDB, IXs are referenced in "ix", <br>
"ixfac", "ixlan", "ixpfx", and "netixlan" objects.<br>
<br>
One can find the following as the major information among IX records:<br>
<br>
- the relevant Organization managing the IX - ("org"),<br>
<br>
- Contact Information - ("poc"),<br>
<br>
- Peering Local Area Networks (LANs) (MTU and VLAN details) of IXs - <br>
("ixlan"),<br>
<br>
- Peering LANs (IPv4 and IPv6 subnets) of IXs - ("ixpfx"),<br>
<br>
- Peers at the IX and the specific IP addresses assigned to each <br>
participant - ("netixlan"),<br>
<br>
- Facilities that the IX is present at - ("ixfac")<br>
<br>
4.5) Networks <br>
<br>
A PeeringDB Network is a network with a globally unique Autonomous System <br>
Number (ASN).<br>
<br>
In the current implementation of PeeringDB, Networks are referenced in <br>
"net", "netfac", and "netixlan" objects.<br>
<br>
One can find the following as the major information among Network records:<br>
<br>
- the relevant Organization managing the Network - ("org"),<br>
<br>
- Contact Information - ("poc"),<br>
<br>
- Network at an IX - ("netixlan")<br>
<br>
- Network at a Facility - ("netfac")<br>
<br>
5) Data Elements in PeeringDB<br>

These data elements can contain data provided by multiple parties. In <br>
cases of conflict between the data sources, the PeeringDB Admin Committee <br>
may become involved to help resolve differences. In addition, the <br>
PeeringDB user interface may help guide participants toward harmony.<br>
<br>
5.2.1) netixlan<br>
<br>
- "netixlan" represents the IP address assignments for a Network at an <br>
Internet Exchange. These assignments are normally made by the Internet <br>
Exchange and provided to the Network.<br>
<br>
- The "netixlan" data element points to a "net" data element, which has a <br>
parent "org" reference. Users with sufficient permission in the <br>
Organization represented by that "org" data element are able to create, <br>
update, and delete this "netixlan" information. In addition, Networks <br>
may take advantage of automated mechanisms that PeeringDB offers, which <br>
utilize data publicly exported by Internet Exchanges.<br>
<br>
- A conflict may arise in which the IP assignment data publicly exported <br>
by an Internet Exchange does not match data provided by a Network. <br>
Alternatively, an Internet Exchange may reach out to PeeringDB to <br>
dispute the IP assignment data provided by a Network.<br>
<br>
Since this data can have an impact on Internet operations, this document <br>
specifies a principle of minimal disruption. This principle means that <br>
conflicted data which is already published shall not be taken down <br>
unless done so by the Network or by a resolution process mediated by the <br>
Admin Committee.<br>
<br>
Similarly, conflicted data which has not been published shall not be <br>
published until a resolution process has been mediated by the Admin <br>
Committee.<br>
<br>
The Task Force recommends PeeringDB employ user interface methods and <br>
email notifications to encourage data harmony between a Network and an <br>
Internet Exchange, as a means of expediting resolution and decreasing <br>
the burdens on the Admin Committee.<br>

5.2.2) ixfac<br>
<br>
- "ixfac" represents the presence of an Internet Exchange at a Facility.<br>
<br>
- The "ixfac" data element points to an "ix" data element, which has a <br>
parent "org" reference. Users with sufficient permission in the <br>
Organization represented by that "org" data element are able to create, <br>
update, and delete this "ixfac" information.<br>
<br>
- While all Facilities have a parent Organization data element, not all of <br>
those Organizations in PeeringDB have actual Users. Some Facilities are <br>
the result of suggestions by other Users, while other Facilities are the <br>
product of the migration from PeeringDB 1.x to PeeringDB 2.x.<br>
<br>
- A conflict may arise in which a Facility with an actual owner disputes <br>
the presence of an Internet Exchange at their Facility. In this case, <br>
the Admin Committee is empowered to mediate a resolution process.<br>
<br>

<br>
5.2.3) netfac<br>
<br>
- "netfac" represents the presence of a Network at a Facility. This <br>
information can include the name of the Facility, the location, and the <br>
ASN employed by the Network at the location.<br>
<br>
- The "netfac" data element points to an "net" data element, which has a <br>
parent "org" reference. Users with sufficient permission in the <br>
Organization represented by that "org" data element are able to create, <br>
update, and delete this "netfac" information.<br>
<br>
- While all Facilities have a parent Organization data element, not all of <br>
