The AWS Documentation mentions the following on what needs to be supported.
· Your network must use single mode fiber with a 1000BASE-LX (1310nm) transceiver for 1 gigabit Ethernet or a 10GBASE-LR (1310nm) transceiver for 10 gigabit Ethernet.
· Auto-negotiation for the port must be disabled. Port speed and full-duplex mode must be configured manually.
· 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation must be supported across the entire connection, including intermediate devices.
· Your device must support Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and BGP MD5 authentication.
· (Optional) You can configure Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on your network. Asynchronous BFD is automatically enabled for AWS Direct Connect virtual interfaces, but will not take effect until you configure it on your router.
