All the criteria that the GÉANT Exec set for the Peering Service to proceed have been met (the principle requirement being that that policy be presented to the APMs at the Budapest STF) and the Peering Service officially entered Production phase on 1 April 2014. Although peerings will not be routinely activated until the new VRF (AS21320) is in place, an exception was made and a batch of 20 peers were approved in November 2014. Of these, 12 were activated on 18 December 2014 and 7 were activated on 26 February 2015.
A total of 64 peers were added between April 2016 to June 2017.
