What is the difference between public and private peering?

Public peering uses shared IXP infrastructure where multiple networks exchange traffic through common switches, with bandwidth typically shared among participants. Private peering uses dedicated cross-connects between specific networks, providing guaranteed bandwidth at higher cost. Most networks use both, with public peering for traffic to many smaller networks and private peering for high-volume exchanges with specific large partners.
