Peering is the arrangement of traffic exchange between Internet networks that aim to share a direct network instead of routing traffic through the Internet. Internet peering is performed over BGP agreement that allows to exchange mutually traffic and share routing information.

Economic benefits: Peering reduces IP transit expenses and optimizes infrastructure costs.

Technical benefits: Has larger bandwidth capacity, ensures greater routing control and network resiliency, minimize latency and improves users experience.

Any network which has its own AS number and publicly routable IP addresses can join LL-IX.
