Abstract

We introduce meta-peering, a term that encompasses the set of tools needed to ease and automate the Internet Service Provider (ISP) peering process; starting with identifying a list of ISPs that are likely to peer, generating respective BGP configurations, and monitoring these sessions for outages or peering agreement violations. In this paper, we describe how existing tools can be leveraged to implement meta-peering and focus on instrumenting the automation of peer selection process. Utilizing PeeringDB and CAIDA datasets to identify possible peering points for requester and candidate ISPs, we estimate candidate ISP's traffic matrix and consider ISPs' internal policies to generate acceptable peering contracts.
