ISP Peering Seminar Report, Abstract

An introduction to ISP Peering

An Internet service provider is an association which allows computer users to access to the Internet and linked services. Usually many of the ISPs are cellular phone companies or network communication service providers. In mainframe networking or in local area networks we interconnect several computers. Peering is a local and permanent interconnection of different Internet networks. Peering is used for the reason of exchanging traffic among the users of each local and wide area network. Peering is free. Nobody pays for the exchange of information and traffic. Peering requires a permanent physical connection of the different networks. The routing information is transmitted and exchanged through the internationally recognized border gateway protocol.

Any transmission and reception of routing information using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol are usually accompanied by different international peering agreements. Peering of networks can also engage more than two internet service providers. In this case all the information traffic intended for any of the ISPs is first routed to a central exchange. This central exchange is also called as a peering point. The central exchange is responsible for sending the complete information to its final destination. ISP peering is analogous to the Network Access Points. Network Access Points are maintained by network service providers on a small scale.
