Following are the guidelines for establishing public or private interconnections with the GameRail Network:

	•	Have a fully staffed Network Operations Center operating and reachable by phone and e-mail 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
	•	Have and provide a defined escalation path for resolving emergency network issues in a timely fashion.
	•	Work with GameRail to jointly plan capacity planning on interconnection augmentation to accommodate traffic growth and minimize the possibility of latency or packet loss between both networks.
	•	Only announce routes from your network or downstream providers to which you provide service.
	•	Never announce routes from upstream providers.
	•	Never establish a static route, a route of last resort, or otherwise send traffic to GameRail for a route not announced by GameRail via BGP.
	•	Never use the GameRail network for transit, or engage in any other routing manipulation that causes the GameRail network to provide transit to other networks.
