CANARIE - Content Delivery Service

Within the broader goal to advance the development of the digital economy in Canada, CANARIE network infrastructure and services are provided to support research, education, advanced application development and usage by Canadian research, education, government, and industry organizations.

This policy applies to connection of content providers to the CANARIE network infrastructure.

Who we peer with:

Under this policy, CANARIE will peer with content providers who support the research and education community. Peering with content providers enables users of the CANARIE network to not only have superior access for collaboration amongst their community, but also provides users with superior access to public domain information in support of their work. Find the current list of CPs here.

CANARIE will accept requests to peer with specific content providers. These requests may be received from a number of sources, including the content provider itself, a specific user, or the user community en masse. However, to ensure consistency with its mandate, the final decision of whom to peer with rests solely with CANARIE.

Transit:

Under this policy, the CANARIE infrastructure will only carry traffic from content providers to its user community and will not transit that traffic across its network for any other purposes.
