What is a peering agreement and how does it work?

A peering agreement is an arrangement between two networks to exchange traffic directly rather than going through transit providers, typically without payment for the traffic exchanged. Peering agreements range from informal handshake arrangements at small exchanges to formal contracts between major networks. The practical effect is faster, more reliable, and often cheaper connectivity between the peering parties.
