Request Closed User Groups Talk to an engineer

Overview

Closed User Groups (CUGs) create private VLAN-isolated peering domains on the AIUSAIX fabric. Membership is restricted to an explicitly approved list of ASNs, giving consortia, financial markets, gaming networks, or M&A entities a private exchange experience without dedicated hardware. Traffic never leaks to the public peering LAN.

Closed User Groups questions, answered.

Who controls membership?+

You do. Membership is gated by an explicit ASN allow-list managed via the AIUSAIX portal. New members require admin approval.

Can traffic leak to the public peering LAN?+

No — every CUG runs on a dedicated VLAN logically isolated from public GlobePEER and other CUGs.

Is there a minimum contract length?+

Standard contracts run 12 months with monthly billing. Multi-year discounts and short-term burst options are available — talk to our sales team for custom terms.
