PSBA Peering
WHAT IS PEERING?
Peering is a process by which two internet networks connect and exchange traffic. It allows them to directly hand off traffic. Peering is distinct from transit, the more usual way of connecting to the internet.
WHY PEER?
Peering can keep traffic local and improve performance. It enables more control over external paths and can easily adjust routing to avoid problem network segments. Peering can also be a more cost effective solution.

WHAT ABOUT PRIVATE PEERING?
If you believe the amount of traffic between your network and PSBA is likely to exceed available bandwidth of our 1Gbps peering connection at the Linx Wales, we would be happy to discuss the feasibility of direct peerings at suitable points.
