Local Peering
Local Peering allows service providers to interconnect with the Telecom network to enable the exchange of internet traffic within New Zealand between their end-users and Telecom Broadband customers.
This permits service providers to more effectively separate and manage their internet traffic, and keep local internet traffic "local" rather than having to use a centrally routed, nationally priced service. There will eventually be 29 internet traffic points of interconnect (POIIs) around New Zealand.
Key Benefits
Key benefits of Local Peering to service providers include:
- No charge for local traffic exchange
- Not carrying local traffic to a distand handover point and back again
- Transport pricing that is appropriate for the distance carried
