  Carrier Hotels: The Economics of Peering
Peering allows two providers exchanging large volumes of traffic to save money by connecting directly, rather than routing traffic through their paid transit lines.
Peering arrangements are often "settlement free," but not always, according to Guarnieri.
If both providers find that peering is in their interest, there is the question of how to connect, and how much it will cost.

 Peering at opensource encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Most peering points are located in colocation centres, where the different network operators 'co-locate' their Points of Presence.
They are all connected at their peering points and supported by the Border gateway protocol (BGP) which allows them to avoid any central authority to coordinate the operation of the Internet.
Peering as a customer-provider relationship is most common at the bottom tiers of the Internet business.

 Peering
Peering (the exchange of zero-cost traffic between consenting parties), as opposed to transit (payment by a customer to a network provider, to carry traffic over the providers infrastructure) is principally a social, political and economic problem.
The technical procedures needed to implement peering are well defined and relatively straightforward, when compared with the machinations required to get agreement to exchange routes with a prospective peer.
In general, peering in New Zealand is no harder, and arguably easier to organise than elsewhere in the world.

 The unrealized Dream of Voice Peering - End to end voice over IP may be coming, but backbone providers will decide just ...
Peering is the way to do that," says Raj Sharma, founder of Nextone, a manufacturer of a new equipment category that has come to be known as the session controller, and is used to enable VoIP peering.
In voice peering, as in simple peering, the overall aim is to achieve some consistency in traffic management end to end.
Peering obviously frees major carriers from the needless burden of executing complex billing procedures that would probably result in a wash, but initially the practice was advocated as much to achieve end to end QoS as to reduce administrative overhead - one hand washing the other, so to speak.

 Peering   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A peering point is a physical location where multiple ISPs exchange Internet traffic with their peers in so-called peering arrangements.
Not all peering happens at neutral peering points: private peering between large providers is very common, as is a customer-provider relationship, particularly at the bottom tiers of the Internet business.
Peering has three elements: the physical interconnection of the networks, technical liaison between the networks to allow exchange of routes, and the commercial and contractual peering agreements.

 Define peering - a Whatis.com definition
Peering requires the exchange and updating of router information between the peered ISPs, typically using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Peering parties interconnect at network focal points such as the network access points (NAP) in the United States and at regional switching points.
Private peering is peering between parties that are bypassing part of the public backbone network through which most Internet traffic passes.

This is a document in the style of "The Evolution of the U.S. Internet Peering Ecosystem" and "The Asia Pacific Internet Peering Ecosystem" (both by William B Norton ) but dealing specifically with the New Zealand situation.
TCL has withdrawn from peering and requires other network operators (private or public) to pay for a domestic combined peering and transit service and connect with them at a private transit point.
Those peers who were retail ISPs could be expected to bill a similar amount to their paying customers.

 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).

 Peering - Waikato Linux Users Group
From an ISP point of view peering is beneficial as it reduces the amount of traffic passed on to your transit provider (hence lowering the cost of that link).
Traditionally peering happens between large players in the Internet market such as Telcos and ISPs, however there are also benefits for large sources or sinks of traffic to peer at a peering point for the same reasons as an ISP (it reduces their reliance on purchased transit).
Peering breaks down when peers are not honest brokers for their customers--widespread peering increases redundancy and reduces the pressure on long-distance links, but there are certain pricing schemes which do not provide incentive for peers to do this.

 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.

 Conxion on Peering
Peering is a mutual arrangement in which one ISP agrees to exchange routing information and direct access to, and with, another ISP.
In every case we are aware of a peering problem, we have sent many requests to them, including email, FedEx, letters, and telephone conversations with their CEOs.
Please note that only networks that might view us as a competitive threat are doing this, and perhaps have some agenda that leads to their action.

 When private peering arrangements go bad
Private peering is the act of two ISPs establishing dedicated connections to their respective networks.
The idea behind private peering is that both ISPs are exchanging about the same amount of traffic and are operating similar networks.
Peers are restricted on how much traffic they can send, but they are also expected to maintain a certain level of traffic.

For private peering, a minimum of 20 Mb/s average or 40 Mb/s 95th percentile sustained traffic over the three (3) immediately preceeding months is required to have been exchanged between the two potential peer networks.
We treat peering at the same high level as commercial transit (aim for no excessive latency or packet loss) and expect the same from our peers.

These remote instances are usually deployed close to exchange points, and network operators are welcome to peer with us there to increase their visibility of (and improve their access to) the F root nameserver.
ISC reserves the right to discontinue peering with other organisations which do not respond appropriately to reports of network abuse, or to organisations which do not follow the technical guidelines for propagation of the F-Root service supernet, as described below.

 More peering clashes seen possible
Peering is a contractual relationship between ISPs that allows them to exchange Internet traffic over each other's backbone networks.

Peering disputes such as this one were more common in the late 1990s, as UUnet and other major Internet backbones began moving from free to paid peering arrangements.
