This two-day workshop on Internet interconnection will provide participants with a solid understanding of how traffic is exchanged on the Internet. The facilitator, William Norton, has over a decade of experience in peering arrangements. Participants will learn about the different types of interconnection, develop an internal peering strategy and tactical plan, and document what they learn to apply it within their own organizations. The goal is to build expertise around peering best practices.
