ECONOMICS OF REMOTE PEERING

The obvious, purely financial benefit of remote peering is its dramatically steeper cost curve as unit costs of remote peering drop at a higher place than that of IP transit. Once a certain volume of traffic has been reached (break even) remote peering becomes cheaper than IP transit.Even if remote peering does not immediately provide cost savings over existing IP transit arrangements, its significant benefits can justify early adoption:

• routing redundancy
• gain control over traffic routes
• reduced latency and packet loss
• increased market visibility
• DDoS protection provided by Sofia Connect
