NDSoftware (AS25358) don't peer with Loxinfo (AS4750).

NDSoftware have a strict peering policy about IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels for
have a full high quality network, IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel must have less
than 50ms of latency
(http://noc.ndsoftwarenet.com/docs/peering-policy.php).

We have this policy for can peer with production network and have a full
high quality network.

We do at our discretion an exception to our peering policy for
projets/ISP that request peering to us and have more than 50ms of
latency, if the project/ISP don't provide BGP transit to other ASN and
don't reannonce NDSoftware's routes, we can peer with a signed peering
agreement. If we don't peer, we help project/ISP to find peering partner
in its area.

I have sent a peering agreement to Loxinfo for that they sign it and
return it via postal mail but i never receive it. We will peer with
Loxinfo only when we have the signed peering agreement. We don't want
have route like UK -> TH -> FR.
