Title: The Art of Peering: The Peering Playbook 1.2
Author: William. B. Norton
Institution: Equinox
Year: 2008
Abstract: Several hundred Internet Service Provider (ISP) Peering Coordinators were interviewed over the past few years for the "Interconnection Strategies for ISPs", "Internet Service Providers and Peering", and "A Business Case for Peering" Internet Operations Research papers. In these previous works, we documented the commonly used terminology (Peering, Transit, Transport, etc.), the motivations, the financial justifications and the process of peering. In this paper we build upon this foundation of peering knowledge and present tactics that Peering Coordinators have used to obtain peering where they otherwise might not have been able to obtain peering. We have identified 19 specific maneuvers that vary from mundane to the clever, from merely deceptive to manipulative. Collectively, these tactics represent the "Peering Playbook", the current "Art" of Peering.
