PEERING Meaning and
Definition
-
Peering, in the context of networking and telecommunications, refers to the voluntary interconnection of multiple internet service providers (ISPs) or networks for the purpose of exchanging traffic between their respective systems. It is a mutual agreement between these entities to establish a direct connection without relying on a third-party network or a paid transit connection.
A peering arrangement allows ISPs or networks to exchange data directly, enhancing network connectivity and reducing the need for traffic to be routed through multiple intermediate networks. By exchanging traffic at peering points, ISPs can improve the efficiency and performance of their networks, leading to lower latency and faster data transmission for end-users.
Peering is typically facilitated through interconnection points known as Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), where ISPs and networks physically connect their infrastructure. These points act as neutral meeting places, allowing organizations to exchange traffic without the need for individual agreements at each location. Peering agreements can be bilateral (between two parties) or multilateral (involving multiple parties), depending on the number of ISPs or networks involved.
Peering is an essential aspect of the internet infrastructure as it enables efficient data transmission and enhances global connectivity. It encourages the free exchange of traffic between networks and contributes to a more robust and decentralized internet ecosystem.

Etymology of PEERING
The word "peering" has its origins in the Middle English term "pirien", which meant to look closely or intently. This Middle English word derived from the Old French word "pirier", meaning to appear or show oneself. The Old French term, in turn, traces back to the Latin word "apparere", which means to appear or to be visible. So, "peering" ultimately came from the Latin root "apparere", through Old French and Middle English.
