What Is Peering & How Will It Benefit Me?
In order for the Internet to work, data must be exchanged between networks and organizations, like Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), enterprises and educational establishments. Typically this takes place via transit, where an end user pays another, larger, network operator to carry the traffic they need. Peering, on the other hand, allows these organizations to exchange their data directly at an Internet Exchange Point (IXP), such as one of DartPoints’ Bridge IX locations. By peering at an IXP, network operators avoid expensive transit prices (thereby lowering connectivity costs), reduce latency, increase throughput, and improve stability.
