Peering and Transit

Within the Topic facet, Peering and Transit topic intelligence connects articles that share a specific subject, signal focus, or monitoring theme. The page gives readers a richer path through related reporting, source evidence, market actors, and infrastructure implications, with enough context to understand why the topic matters across company movements, governance decisions, regional exposure, and operational risk. Readers can compare recurring signals, affected organisations, public evidence, market context, service continuity, procurement, competition, compliance, and strategic planning questions behind the subject instead of stopping at a thin list of matching articles. It explains what the topic covers, which infrastructure actors or policies are involved, what evidence supports the coverage, and why the subject may matter for operators, customers, investors, and policy readers.

AT&T's 2017 VoLTE 911 outage made emergency-call routing changes an accountability test

For five hours on March 8, 2017, a mismatch between AT&T's provisioning record and its live emergency-call network prevented thousands of customers from reaching 911 directly. The Federal Communications Commission traced the event from an incorrect IP whitelist through Session…

MIX's 2025 peering-LAN resilience note made route reconvergence an accountability test

MIX made a deliberately narrow point in June 2025: a peering LAN should not automatically become a single point of failure for a properly prepared network, because entities can retain transit capacity and diversify where they peer. The harder part comes after that design claim.…

Moratel and PCCW made a 2012 Google route leak a transit-filtering accountability test

A 27-minute reachability incident in November 2012 exposed a basic weakness in interdomain routing: a network can announce a technically plausible path beyond its intended relationship, an upstream can accept and propagate it, and users far from either operator can lose access to…

Keyur Patel and the BGP Model Work Behind Routing Operations

The Internet depends on routing systems that decide how networks exchange reachability, or the information that says which network can carry traffic to which destination. Keyur Patel's public record connects that operating layer to two kinds of evidence: standards work on Border…

Jan Kayser and the Operational Trade-Offs Behind LINX's Route-Server Observability Migration

Internet exchanges are places where networks connect directly, a practice called peering; transit is paid upstream connectivity. Route servers help operators share reachability information efficiently, while a looking glass lets engineers inspect that routing view without…
