Network Peering
What is Peering?
Peering is the arrangement of traffic
exchange between Internet service
providers (ISPs).
Types of Peering
Bilateral peering
• an agreement between two parties
Multilateral peering
• agreement between more than two parties
Shared-cost peering
• Used if parties achieve equal benefits
Paid peering
• Used if one party benefits more than the
other
Peering Requirements
Exchange and updating of router
information between the peered ISPs
• Done by using Border Gateway Protocol
Interconnect at network focal points
• network access points
• regional switching points
Peering policy
ISP roles and relationships
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Is a protocol for exchanging routing
BGP is often the protocol used
between gateway hosts on the
Internet
• The routing table contains a list of
known routers, the addresses they can
reach, and a cost metric associated with
the path to each router so that the best
available route is chosen.
Service Level Agreement
A service contract between Service provider and
their customer that defines provider
responsibilities in terms of:
•
•
•
•
network levels (throughput, loss rate, delays and jitter)
times of availability
method of measurement
consequences if service levels aren't met or the defined
traffic levels are exceeded by the customer, and all costs
involved.
It specifies the forwarding service a customer
should receive. A SLA may include traffic
conditioning rules.
SLA’s
IP Services
Metrics
Service Level
Network Availability
99.9% premises to POP
Latency
80 ms or less network-wide monthly average delay
Latency
Traffic offered at service level A will be delivered with
low latency
Packet Loss
1% or less on network-wide monthly average packet
loss
Packet Loss
Traffic offered at service level B will be delivered with
low loss
Throughput
99.99% network-wide data delivery rate average per
calendar month
QoS Characteristics
Minimizes delivery delay
Minimizes delay variations
Provides consistent data throughput
capacity
QoS for IT
Manage sensitive applications, such
as audio and video.
Manage delay-sensitive traffic, such
as real time voice.
Control loss in time due to burst
congestions
Key QoS Parameters
Latency
The time between a node sending a message and receipt of the
message by another node.
Jitter
An aberration that occurs when video or voice is transmitted over
a network, and packets do not arrive at its destination in
consecutive order or on a timely basis.
Bandwidth
A measure of data transmission capacity, usually expressed in
kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps).
Packet Loss
Example:1% or less on network-wide monthly average packet
loss.
Availability
Example: 99.9% premises to POP.

Route Control
Route Control
A method of identifying the best path
between two points on a network
Allows companies to gain and maintain
business-class performance over internet
Lets the user set the rules and policies
that define what the “best path” is
Intelligent Route Control vs. Border
Gateway Protocol
Upcoming Solution
Intelligent Routing
Why Intelligent Routing ?
BANDWIDTH COST SAVINGS
Optimizes traffic by ISP
Reduces network engineering operational
expenses
Billing Remediation
Increases revenue
Downsizes and/or reduces # of links
Migration from private networks to the
internet

Why Companies Participate in
Bandwidth Markets ?
Now, telecommunication is global
Internet market is out of boundaries
Telecom market is specializing
How to Participate in Bandwidth
Market ?
Using a system of offers & bids
• Registering to market web sites
• Talking to the managers
Price System of Bandwidth
Depends on tier levels (oversubscription rates)
Is highly affected by route control
