PCH Peering Paper

Sat Feb 13 00:39:44 UTC 2016

I was going to ask the same thing, since even for settlement free peering between large content providers and eyeball networks there are written agreements in place.  I would have no clue on the volume percentage but it's not going to be near 99%.

How does it look when you examine it by not the count of sessions or links
but by the volume of overall data? I wonder if it may change a little like
50% of the volume of traffic is covered by a handshake. (I made 50% up -
could be any percentage.)

PS - My email address has changed and I’m trying to send a 3rd time.
Apologies if they all suddenly post to the list as duplicates! :-)
