Private Peering is the direct exchange of traffic between two networks over a dedicated connection, typically a cross-connect, rather than through a shared exchange fabric. It offers predictable capacity, lower latency, and better security for high-volume relationships, and is distinguished from public peering, where many networks interconnect over a shared IXP switch.
