+
+InterLink uses [**B**order **G**ateway **P**rotocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Gateway_Protocol) to exchange routing information between the customer’s infrastructure and the Scaleway VPC. Each side advertises IP prefixes for its own internal subnets and resources, to allow the other side to dynamically learn and update its internal routes, facilitating efficient traffic flow. However, by default, **all routes across an InterLink are blocked**. You must create and attach an [allowed routes list](/network/interlink/concepts/#allowed-routes-list) aka routing policy, to set IP prefix filters for the route advertisements you want to whitelist. This facilitates traffic flow across the InterLink.
+
+When creating an allowed routes list, you specify one or many IP ranges representing the outgoing routes to announce from the Scaleway VPC, and one or many IP ranges representing the incoming route announcements to accept from the external infrastructure. When [route propagation](#route-propagation) is activated, the route ranges defined in the allowed routes list are whitelisted, and traffic can flow across the InterLink along these routes. [Learn more about routing across an InterLink](/network/interlink/reference-content/overview/#routing-across-an-interLink)
+
+You may also know allowed routes lists under the terms "routing policy", or "route filters".
+
+## How to create an allowed routes list
+
+1. Click **InterLink** in the **Network** section of the [Scaleway console](https://console.scaleway.com) side menu. A listing of your InterLinks displays.

+2. Click the **Allowed routes** tab. A listing of your allowed routes list displays.

+
+4. Enter a name for the list, or leave the randomly-generated name in place. 
+
+5. Choose a region for the list. It can only be attached to InterLinks within the same region.
+
+6. Whitelist the outgoing routes to allow. For each entry you want to add:
+    - Select whether it is of type IPv4 or IPv6.
+    - Enter an IP prefix to define a range of route announcements to whitelist, e.g.  `172.16.4.0/22`. 
+    - Click **Add** after each entry.
+
+        <Message type="tip">
+        Routes within these destinations will be propagated, allowing traffic from your external infrastructure to be routed via InterLink to your VPC. For example, adding `172.16.4.0/22` whitelists all 1,024 IPs in this block, from `172.16.4.0` to `172.16.7.255`.
+
+        You can add up to TODO entries in the list. IPv4 and IPv6 routes must be defined separately. The order of the entries in the list has no material impact TODO check.
+        </Message>
+
+7. Whitelist the incoming routes to allow, in the same way you did for outgoing routes. Outgoing routes concern announcements to accept from the external infrastructure. Traffic can be routed via InterLink from your Scaleway VPC to your external infrastructure along these routes.
+
+8. Click **Create allowed routes list**.
+The list is created, and you are returned to the listing of your allowed routes lists.
+
+Remember to [attach the list to an InterLink](/network/interlink/how-to/configure-interlink/#how-to-attach-an-allowed-routes-list) for it to take effect.  Each InterLink can have one allowed routes list attached to it, but a single allowed routes list can be attached to multiple InterLinks, if desired.

+        You are returned to the InterLink's **Overview** page, where it's status now shows as **Deprovisioning**. Scaleway stops billing you for your InterLink at this point, and it can no longer be configured, un-deleted, or used to route traffic.
+
+6. Contact your partner to request that they delete the InterLink resource on their side. They may continue to bill you until you do so, and they deprovision the resource on their side. To get in touch with the partner, you can use the same contact information that you used when [requesting the InterLink from the partner](/network/interlink/how-to/complete-provisioning/).
+
+<Message type="note">
+If the provisioning of your InterLink by the partner was never completed, e.g. you a) never contacted the partner to request provisioning of the InterLink, or b) the partner refused to provision your InterLink, you do not need to contact the partner again to request that they deprovision the resource. Deleting it on the Scaleway side is sufficient. 
+</Message>
+
+When the InterLink is fully deprovisioned on both sides, it will be deleted from the list of your InterLinks, and its Overview page will no longer be accessible.
