peering in the IX's a.k.a peering -> unless is a payed service =private-peering! at the exchange
despite full sentences are clearly better to understand, the term "_private_ peering" does not necessarily include payments. It just means that the interconnect is not realized via a _public_ infrastructure as an IX's network e.g., but via _discrete_ p2p links, for example. Paid services are often referred to as "transit" or sometimes even "transit light" (meaning "my network and the ones of my customers", german Telekom uses this) or explicitly "_paid_ peering" (which is a misuse of the word peering, imho, as e.g. used by Arcor/Vodafone). At least over here the nomenclature is like that ;-) Kind regards, .m
