What is peering
Peering is all about making connections and improving throughput on neutral ground between as many IP networks as possible. It’s a form of connectivity that enables networks to physically connect at an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and exchange traffic.
Peering offers many benefits, including latency reduction, backhaul optimisation, and improved efficiency with the added benefit of lowering connectivity costs.
Designed to flatten the hierarchy of Internet connectivity, peering creates a more open and equitable Internet.
