Starlink has an open peering policy, subject to certain technical, commercial, and legal requirements.
Users with specific engineering requirements can peer with Starlink over internet exchange points IXPs where Starlink peers.
IXPs are located in the Starlink points-of-presence (PoPs) and the IXP peering LAN and route servers can facilitate interconnection directly to your network.
The list of IXPs Starlink is connected to is maintained on the PeeringDB Public Peering Exchange Points list.
If you need to peer with Starlink, make sure you are connected to one IXPs in the geography of your home PoP. Once you are connected, you can peer with the IXP Route Server.
Starlink uses many PoPs around the world to route traffic. You can use the DNS PTR record for your Starlink's IP address to determine the home PoP. (e.g. 'dig -x 14.1.64.1' -> customer.mnlaphl1.isp.starlink.com -> mnlaphl1 is the CLLI code for Manila, PH).
📘 Starlink home PoP may change for mobile users
If you move your Starlink to a new location, the home PoP may change and traffic routing is subject to change.
To manage this, Mobile Starlink users should peer at all possible IXPs. If traffic egresses from a different PoP without established peering, your traffic will be routed over the Internet.
PeeringDB or the IXPs website are the best sources for IXP route server information. A PeeringDB account is generally required to view certain details.
Starlink can peer directly with customers via bilateral peering arrangements, however we recommend peering with the IXP route server to facilitate this with lower operational overheads for both parties.
