Aaron, Thank you for your message. To clarify, 6Connect is indeed an AMS-IX customer, and AS8038 is still peering. However, the relevant entity for the EPF attendance qualification is 6Connect, not Hilco. You may participate in the EPF, but only under the company name 6Connect. Hilco itself does not peer, and therefore cannot qualify as the peering entity for EPF participation. Unfortunately, the colleagues from Hilco (Giulia and Colin), cannot participate in the EPF. In addition to being affiliated with Hilco, their current job functions are not related to peering or interconnection, which is a requirement for participation. The acquisition itself is therefore not the reason for the change in qualification. The key point is that EPF attendance is tied to the peering entity and the attendee’s role/function in relation to peering. For further clarification, you can also refer to the EPF Attendee Policy on the EPF website which outlines the applicable participation criteria. I hope this clarifies the situation.

FW: EPF 19 Attendance – NL-IX and Open Peering
by Léon van der Laan Aug. 27, 2026

Aug. 27, 2026

Dear Carolin, Thank you for your email and for taking the time to explain the application of the EPF attendance policy. First of all, we fully understand and respect the need to apply the rules consistently and fairly across all participants and sponsors. That said, we would like to provide some context from our side. NL-ix is sponsoring EPF for the third consecutive year, and our registration approach this year has been identical to that of previous years. In all prior editions, this has never resulted in any concerns or issues being raised. In fact, in 2024 it was not a problem for us to have an additional colleague attending through Open Peering alongside our sponsorship registrations, resulting in a total of five attendees. Last year, including the sponsorship registrations, we attended with four representatives. Given this history, the current interpretation comes as a surprise to us. We would therefore like to kindly request a one-time exception for EPF 2026. The registrations have already been completed, appointments during EPF 2026 and some travel and hotel arrangements have already been planned and booked based on our understanding of the participation model applied in previous years. As such, receiving this notification at this stage creates some practical difficulties. Should attendance beyond the four included sponsor registrations require an additional fee, we would be happy to pay the €500 registration fee per extra colleague referenced on the EPF registration website for a fifth and sixth participant. Looking ahead, we will of course take the clarified interpretation of the attendance policy into account when considering our participation and sponsorship plans for future editions. We greatly value EPF and our long-standing involvement in the community, and we hope that a practical solution can be found for this year's event. Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to hearing from you.

Following a review of the EPF registrations, we received a note regarding the registrations from NL-IX and Open Peering. As both entities belong to the same parent organisation, Broadband Hosting B.V., we need to apply the EPF attendance policy accordingly. The relevant rule states: “The attendance limit applies per organisation, not per ASN. This means that organisations with multiple ASNs connected to one or more host IXPs are still limited to a maximum of four representatives in total. Separate entities belonging to the same parent organisation may be treated as a single entity for capacity limits.” As a Silver Sponsor, your sponsorship includes four attendees. Four representatives is also the maximum number of participants permitted per network under the general EPF attendance rules. Therefore, if NL-IX and Open Peering would like to attend with six representatives in total, it would be necessary to upgrade the sponsorship to Platinum, which would allow the additional attendees. If you would prefer to remain on the Silver Sponsorship, could you please let us know which four participants will attend the EPF and whose names we should remove from the registration list by Monday, 24 August, at the latest? We fully appreciate that this may be inconvenient, and we hope you understand that we need to apply the rules consistently to ensure a fair and balanced event for all participants and sponsors. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. Please let us know how you would like to proceed. Best regards, Carolin On behalf of the EPF hosts

Therefore, you cannot use the 6connect AS number to register for EPF as Hilco Global. The same applies to Aaron, whose registration we will also need to decline.

My name is Viktor Marofka from TTI (AS6663) and my colleague forwarded this invitation to the Peering Forum. I also participated this event before (Athens, Paris), but unfortunately I did not receive an invite. Zsolt and myself are planning to apply now that we finally have our internal approvals and we’d plan to bring a 3rd colleague as well if it is possible (Gökhan). I’m a little bit confused about the applications and whether it’s possible and under what conditions. Please let me know the possibilities.
