Peering is a process by which two Internet networks connect and exchange traffic. It allows a direct hand off of traffic between each other’s customers.

Better user experience

If your core business offerings are VoIP, video streaming, gaming, cloud data access or financial transactions, lower latency and shorter network distances offered by an exchange assure better user experiences and keep your customers happy.

Networks are able to connect using a single physical port or use multiple ports together to create a large single virtual port. Once connected to a public peering exchange networks can setup or remove interconnections to other networks without needing to physically reprovision any circuits. Members can host their hardware within the same data center that hosts our shared switching fabric or they can connect from many miles away and peer remotely via a layer 2 carrier network.
