11.2 Distinction between IXP peering and management networks<br>
<br>
We distinguish between two kinds of IP number resources needed and used at <br>
IXPs. <br>
<br>
An IXP peering LAN is the contiguous network address block that the IXP <br>
would use to assign unique IP addresses to each peering member, for each <br>
peering participant to exchange network traffic across the shared peering <br>
infrastructure. *Best practice has the IXP peering LAN not being visible in <br>
a view of the global routing table*, among other things *to reduce the <br>
attack vectors* for ISP border routers via the IXP. <br>
~°~<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

Question: what are the other relevant usecases?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
