Level 1: Peering Basics – Transit vs Peering vs IXP

Three main ways networks connect globally:

  • IP Transit β€” pay a provider to reach the whole Internet (default for most)
  • Peering β€” mutual free or paid exchange of traffic with another network (only customer routes + their peers)
  • Internet Exchange Point (IXP) β€” shared fabric where many networks peer at once (public peering)

Peering types:

  • Settlement-free (no money exchanged β€” traffic roughly balanced)
  • Paid peering (one side pays β€” usually smaller to larger network)
  • Private peering (direct cross-connects, usually in data centers)

Illustration: Transit as paying a taxi everywhere, peering as carpooling with friends, IXP as a giant parking lot for carpooling πŸš•β†”πŸš—β†”πŸ…ΏοΈ.

Fun Fact: Top global carriers save tens to hundreds of millions $ annually through smart peering β€” sometimes 30–70% of transit costs eliminated!
