| | Open Peering Initiative - How does it work |
 | | A MLPA router is a router that implements the peering between all members. | | | In that case the relation is referenced as transit instead of peering. | | | In order to be able to exchange routing information between routers of different networks (AS's) for peering or transit purposes, a communication protocol is required. |

| | This change has been driven by access to peering and the development of pure transit-play providers at the retail level. | | | Throughout this document certain terms which have distracting connotations or ambiguous meanings are used to describe very precise relationships and implications. | | | Any other model will be replaced by a more efficient Exchange, and open and neutral could be argued to be the optimal form of such an exchange. |

| | Interconnection, Peering, and Settlements |
| | However, such positions of no interconnection have proved to be relatively short-lived due to the high cost of operating such international transit environments, the instability of the significantly lengthened interconnection paths, and the unwillingness of foreign third-party ISPs to act (often unwittingly) as agents for domestic interconnection in the longer term. | | | Each provider executes a bilateral peering agreement with another provider by initiating a router peering session with the other party's router. | | | For example, widespread deployment of end-to-end quality of service is highly unlikely in such an environment, given that there is no stable mechanism of cost distribution to support the transit of elevated-quality packets. |
