# Advertise BYOIP

You can advertise your own publicly routable IP addresses (BYOIPs) to a peering ASN, making BYOIPs reachable and accessible within the network infrastructure.

## Prerequisites

To successfully advertising your BYOIPs, you need to have:

1. **A valid advertising prefix**\
   \&#xNAN;**-** Your AS is authorized to originate routes, which can be queried in mainstream IRR databases, such as: [https://radb.net](https://radb.net/).\
   \- Your routes are RPKI authenticated;
2. **A BGP session for advertising BYOIPs**\
   Ensure the IP version of the BGP session matches the version of the IP prefix to be advertised.
