Trends, challenges and evolution of Internet peering

With over 20 billion connected devices worldwide, peering interconnections play an essential role in providing the performance end users demand. Despite how critical it is, network peering has not kept pace with private and public peering, making it difficult to ‘get right’. The increasingly unpredictable nature of today’s internet traffic, including devastating cyber-attacks, is pushing communications service providers (CSPs), enterprises and webscale companies to reconsider their peering strategy.

Consulting firm ACG Research has published a new paper on IP peering, its trends, challenges and how it has and will continue to evolve. It is in collaboration with ACG’s Principal Analyst, Paul Parker-Johnson, that we will expand upon the ideas presented in the paper during a live webinar on May 29th: Advances and Investments in Internet Peering.

This webinar will lay out a comprehensive, first-hand peering perspective based on interviews ACG Research conducted with Internet and communication service providers, transit service providers and internet content providers. We will deep dive into urgent and future-looking network peering limitations and challenges, while also identifying opportunities and prescriptions that better align network peering with the needs of modern application service delivery.
