Etymology

The term 'peering' originates from the early days of the internet's development in the 1990s, derived from the word 'peer' which means a person of equal standing. In the context of networking, this concept emphasizes equality among networks that choose to interconnect with one another. As the internet grew, the need for efficient data exchange methods became apparent, leading to the establishment of peering agreements to facilitate direct traffic flow. This practice has become a fundamental aspect of how networks manage connections, particularly as the volume of internet traffic surged with the advent of streaming services and online applications.
