ok so I'm not the guy your talking to but peering means that the provider basically means the provider has free traffic running to the other provider; most peering networks work so the controlling pull or push traffic is free depending on how much bandwidth a provider is going through that network. its really a way for providers to push traffic through 1 network for less than a regular network. contact me on AIM for a real demonstration on how this works and the requirements for a peering network.
