Globally by 2022, 82% of all IP traffic (both business and consumer) will be IP video traffic and it is expected that 33% of service provider network capacity will be in metro areas¹. This traffic strains already busy backhaul routes to aggregated peering points. Cisco Intelligent Peering focuses on localized peering to improve transit operations.

• Minimizes transit distance and eliminates needless network hops.
  
• Maintains throughput and capacity with 24x or 36x –100G per RU high density routers.
• Embraces model-driven telemetry to collect high-fidelity data to predict and resolve congestion before it happens.
• Builds trusted network fabrics by protecting against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. It also detects hijacking of border gateway protocol (BGP) routes.
• Helps enable localized peering, which improves resiliency with redundant peering connections in one location. It eliminates the need to add backbone capacity for failover to other regions.
