Peering Analysis
- Details
- Category: By Application
Service Providers (SPs) are looking for ways to reduce the costs associated with providing internet services. Chief among the costs is the transit cost, the cost of getting traffic to the networks that make up the internet. Establishing “Peering” is one of the most effective methods of reducing transit costs for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Peering decreases the cost and reliance on purchased internet transit.
An ISP Peering Coordinator’s job is to establish and effectively manage this interconnection between ISPs. Goals include maximizing efficiency and minimizing the costs of interconnections. To achieve such aim, it requires a BGP routing correlated traffic visibility. Getting insights of how the traffic is entering and leaving an ISP’s network is important for the Peering Coordinator to monitor, build, and optimize their peering relationships with others.
