- Only send "local" routes for your network and your customer's network to AS12233
- You must also have a connection with the IX transit Router on AS53698
- Some sites will not have a dedicated "Content" prefix.
- Communities may be used to select desired content. (future)

An unique policy applies to prefixes send to the Local Content Router:
- Only routes that are RPKI Verfied or RPKI Unknown are accepted,
- Routes with more than 10 hops may be discarded.
- IPv4 routes are accepted thru a /27 (64 ip block) with only one entry in the AS PATH   This may not be accepted by the acutual downstream caches.
IPv6 is not supported by Microsoft, but AS12233 is dual stacked.
