- 1. Network peering is a method to save ISP’s network bandwidth and resources. Write a brief document describing the following: What is meant by “Network Peering” What is meant by “Internet Exchange” and How is it related to “Network Peering”. How can “Network Peering” save network resources How can “Network Peering” be implemented Solution Network Peering: Relationship between two Internet Service Providers is called Peering. In this they mutually agreed to exchange prefixes and allow flow of traffic. The typical connection to the internet is called transit. Network peering is when one internet network connects to another directly, enabling a faster throughput and exchange of information. Peering is of four types. Public peering Private peering Partial Peering Paid Peering For peering need to have connection exchange point. Internet Exchange in the context of Network Peering: To establish a peering between any two networks they must exchange the connection points. Using an Internet exchange, a network can peer with many other networks through a single connection. It is negotiable through the peer. An Internet exchange is a point of a physical infrastructure that allows different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to exchange Internet traffic between their networks (autonomous systems) by means of mutual peering agreements, which allow traffic to be exchanged without cost. The main purpose of the internet exchange is to allow networks to interconnect directly, via the exchange, or by using other network or third party network. In establishing PEER in the network they are mutually exchanging the points to each other at that time an unlimited number of parties agree to exchange traffic on common terms, using a single agreement that they all accede to, and using a route server or route reflector. The first is a connection to an exchange point. Peering is the direct exchange of customer routing information and traffic between to isp’s.
