Re: [External] Peering with Google and Microsoft

[Dave Schwartz via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Hi Tom and Oskar,

Thanks for surfacing this. We are indeed continuing to pause IX peering as
we work to implement IRR filtering on our peering to increase the
reliability of Google. This is a very active area of development and a high
priority for Google. As we understand that this has been the case for quite
some time, we hope to share an update with the community in the future.

Meanwhile if you have questions on Google's IRR based filtering we have
some information on our help center:

Thanks,
Dave
