Hi, here is a quick question. 1. Beside public peering in IXP and private peering between two dedicated ASes, are there any other interconnection models in the current Internet?
There is the model where all partcipants peer through agency of 3rd party. That tends to be looked on as an extremely bad idea, but some regulatory environments encourage or enforce that sort of behavior particularly around the monopoly PTT.
I don't know if the 3rd party you mentioned is the IXP?
2. How does private peering implement, just a router from each AS and a
link inbetween? Do they have multi-access in one peering location? I mean one router from an AS peer with two/more routers from another AS?
you'll find that the details vary between entities. some bi-lateral relationships are going to require peering in more than one location, require a minimum ammount of redundancy etc. depends on how business critical the relationship is, how much traffic is being exchanged, the sized of the networks involved etc.
Sure, two ASs may peer with each other at multiple locations, I do want to know in each of these peering location, if there exist multi-access between these two ASes.
