Open peering

Open peering is when internet service providers (ISPs) or networks connect directly with each other through a neutral, shared platform called an exchange point. This setup allows them to exchange traffic efficiently and cost-effectively, improving internet performance and reducing delays. Think of it as a communal highway system where multiple providers share roads to deliver data quickly between their customers without relying solely on third-party networks. Open peering fosters better connectivity, increased redundancy, and often lower costs, benefiting users with faster and more reliable internet service.
