Networks uses the PEER 1 Networks to deliver content and traffic
for its customers. Peer 1 has engineered one of the fastest and most
reliable networks in the world. It delivers the lowest latency in
the industry along with zero packet loss. The network is built based
on a series of dedicated links between all of the facilities using
multiple high-speed connections. Through strategic peering relationships
with over 500 networks and utilizing four Tier 1 upstream providers
(MCI, Savvis, AT&T and Sprint) to ensure continued high performance.
Peering lets us reduce latency between the networks, avoid additional
third-party network costs, and pass the savings on to you.

Peering
Peering is fundamental to the PEER 1 network. It is the practice of
exchanging free network access with another network provider. In a
standard situation, as soon as a packet of information leaves the
PEER 1 network, PEER 1 has to pay for the distance it travels on other
networks. But with peering, we give other networks access to the reach
of our network in return for them allowing us to send packets over
theirs. This extends the reach of our network, improves performance,
and reduces cost, allowing us to deliver greater value to you. Since
the Internet is based on the principle of global reachability - the
concept that any Internet user can reach any other Internet user as
though they were on the same network - peering has become an essential
part of the network landscape.
