A two-sided model of paid peering

Ali Nikkhah and Scott Jordan

Telecommunications Policy, 2022, vol. 46, issue 8

Abstract: Internet users have suffered collateral damage in tussles over paid peering between large ISPs and large content providers. Paid peering is a relationship where two networks exchange traffic with payment, which provides direct access to each other’s customers without having to pay a third party to carry that traffic for them. The issue will arise again when the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers a new net neutrality order.
