Peering is the interconnection and exchange of Internet routing data between two networks. Without it, the flow of data across the Internet would be impossible. While the fundamental role of peering hasn't changed, traffic patterns, location, operation, and security requirements have, so peering must evolve as well.

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) connects with a Transit Provider to provide global Internet access to customers.
Two parties interconnect directly to mutually exchange IP traffic on the Internet.
Multiple parties, known as “peers,” use an Internet Exchange Point, with each party’s policies governing how they connect with others.
Transit Providers
Cloud Providers
Internet Service Providers
Content Providers
Website Hosters
Search Engines
Gaming Companies
