Transit versus (Paid) Peering: Interconnection and Competition (2004)

| Description | We examine the strategic interaction between interconnection and compe-tition in the Internet backbone market. Networks asymmetric in size choose among different interconnection regimes, IP-Transit, Bill-and-Keep Peering, and Paid Peering, and compete for end-users. We show that sufficiently sym-metric networks enter a Peering agreement while otherwise use an intermedi-ary network for exchanging traffic. This is structurally in line with considera-tions of a non-US policy maker. In contrast, US policy makers prefer Peerings among relatively asymmetric networks. |
