	ISP Peering Models
		While the SKA peering arrangement does have strong proponents with the Internet ISP community, the model of SKA has stability problems where either one ISP acts in a transit role for the other, or where one ISP is providing a set of services used by the other ISP.
		The implementation of a layer three peering environment is the easiest to engineer and support, as the engineering model is that of a single router owned and operated by the common peering entity.
		Each party can then operate with layer 3 route peering tools that allows any arbitrary set of peering structures to be supported, and the structure dictates no pre-conditions concerning the nature of any particular bilateral peering arrangement, or even that a peering agreement must be executed.

	Peering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peering is voluntary interconnection of administratively separate Internet networks for the purpose of exchanging traffic between the customers of each network.
		Peering requires physical interconnection of the networks, an exchange of routing information through the BGP routing protocol and is often accompanied by peering agreements of varying formality, from "handshake" to thick contracts.
		Some larger networks utilize public peering as a way to aggregate a large number of "smaller peers", or as a location for conducting low-cost "trial peering" without the expense of provisioning private peering on a temporary basis, while other larger networks are not willing to participate at public exchanges at all.

	Interconnection, Peering, and Settlements
		The determination of peer or client is now quite simple: a client is an entity that operates without such a carrier license, and a peer is one that has been granted such an instrument.
		Peering in such an environment is best expressed as the balance of perceptions, in which each party perceives an acceptable approximation of equal benefit in the interconnection relationship in their own terms.
		The SKA peer's ability to leverage advantage from the greater level of investment (assuming that the other party is the smaller party) is now no longer a factor, because the smaller ISP sees only those parts of the larger ISP that sit within a well-defined local or regional zone.

	Open Peering Initiative - How does it work
		Peering can be done one-on-one, via a direct interconnection (often a leased line or a simple network cable if you share a location somewhere).
		Those peering agreements are normally not provisioned by the exchange: AMS-IX for example is a neutral organization which only provides a physical infrastructure for exchanging traffic but does not interfere with the politics of peering or peering negotiations.
		Some parties publish their peering policy on their website or via the the Internet exchanges they are connected to (for example look at the fields named "Peering Policy:" on the AMS-IX website).

	OpenDNS > What We Do > Peering Policy
		Peering is when two different networks (organizations usually) connect directly for the purpose of exchanging traffic.
		Peers must not utilize any form of gateway of last resort or default route that is directed at OpenDNS.
		Peers are expected to filter their clients to reject both unauthorized BGP announcements as well as IP datagrams with invalid source addresses.

	OPENTRANSIT
		A regional peering refers to interconnections taken with a peering partner over one of the major continent in the world.
		In case of peering upgrade consideration, For each additional prospective peering connection to existing locations, beyond those for which the direct peering partner originally qualifies, the direct peering partner shall meet an average daily traffic utilization of 65% for an individual existing connection (based on its payload).
		In the case of private peering that necessitate the provisioning of a local loop (like an intra-building or a metropolitan link), all costs associated to this link are to be supported by the party having ordered it.

	Peering Settlement Policy
		This peering settlement policy describes a suitability checklist and the parameters for calculating the peering settlements which apply for an organisation wishing to pursue a peering agreement with AAPT.
		However, peering exchange points themselv es are excluded because of the effects of AAPT customers participating at the peering point.
		This peering settlement model considers this by allocating points to an organisation according to the number of locations in which the organisation has Points of Presence (PoP) and whether those locations are capital cities.

	Renesys Blog: Lovely Peering Cruise on Lake Michigan?
		The poster observed "[a]s a lot of other developing countries, peering is established on personal relationships, and even with that it doesn't work well, because both parties couldn't agree on routing policies or even personal disliking(pathetic)." To that, the inimitable Randy Bush replied: "luckily, this kind of thing never happens in north america ".
		In the interests of full disclosure, I went on the last peering cruise that Terremark and LINX sponsored and was invited to this one.
		The evolution of peering relationships from something that you do over beer at a conference (or on a cruise) to something that your companies' lawyers and C-level execs negotiate is an example of that.

	When private peering arrangements go bad
		Private peering is the act of two ISPs establishing dedicated connections to their respective networks.
		While this situation was set in motion over the termination of a single private peering agreement, it demonstrated the frail nature of the Internet with its series of sometimes loosely interconnected, providers.
		Peers are restricted on how much traffic they can send, but they are also expected to maintain a certain level of traffic.

	ISP-Planet - Business - The Cogent-Level 3 Dispute
		Even though peering has ended and links remain severed, the peering agreement was not violated by either side.
		In our opinion, peering agreements are handshake deals that stitch the Internet together, subject to the whim of the parties to each agreement.
		Many peering agreements, therefore, stipulate that if there is an imbalance in traffic flows, then the company that is sending more traffic than it is receiving pays a penalty based on the extent of the difference.

	ISP-Planet - News - C&W Briefly Drops Peering Agreement with PSINet
		A peering agreement is a relationship between two or more ISPs in which the ISPs create a direct link between each other and agree to route each other's packets directly across that link rather than paying fees to a third-party Network Service Provider (NSP) for transport.
		But such an agreement only makes sense if the amount of traffic sent to a partner's network is about equal to the amount of traffic sends back in return.
		Couser said each of C&W's peering partners must meet three requirements: they must have an OC-48 backbone, be able to maintain an exchange ratio of 2 to 1, and have nodes in nine regions.

	Technology & Marketing Law Blog: Peering Agreement Dispute Between Level 3 and Cogent
		Peering agreements rarely get much attention, even though they are the Internet's infrastructure.
		This principle is false on its face, as in fact each party to a peering agreement incurs both non-trivial marginal and fixed costs to maintain the connectivity.
		It's not that hard to imagine a different Internet evolutionary path where each IAP charged those marginal costs to other IAPs, in which case undoubtedly this variable charge would be passed through to consumers.

	IT @ UT - UT and Road Runner peering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A recent agreement between the University of Texas at Austin and Time Warner Cable's Road Runner service has improved high-speed access to campus resources.
		This peering agreement allows UT and Road Runner to create a direct link to each other and forward each other's traffic through that link, rather than traveling across additional networks.
		Road Runner users are on a regional network (austin.rr.com) which, prior to the peering agreement, did not route traffic directly to the University network.
