Take note that there is no need to use BGP to do peering.
If the goal is to just peer to have an optimal single path to the other's
network.
It can be done with a Static Route on each side. (of course would use
something liek OSPF to re-route it through your network, depending where the
peer point is)
I recommend seperating Peer traffic from shared transit traffic.
Each having their own VLAN through your bandwidth tracking software.
You then need routers or switches that can pass larger than 1500 packets to
facilitate the transfer between you.

You would classically arrange a peering agreement. You hand each other
a equal amount of capacity (say 1mbit) and a BGP table. You each use
the link like another upstream provider, balancing routes vs capacity
vs (what ever else you want). Some peerages have a set cost per bit
transfered and the groups settle up monthly. The main problem I see is
one entity will be at a disadvantage then the other due to size. Say
isp A has 2 peers, the other has 4. That means isp B will "need" isp
A's links less then B needs A's. There is a very (in)famous case of
exactly that (AOL and Cogent). How do you value your peering abilities
vs those of someone else, with more or less peers and more or less
capacity.

I
know of at least 4 other WISPs that have bandwidth also. I was just
wanting
to establish a link to one or more of them and start routing (BGP most
likely) and pass traffic over each others network. This would allow each
to
have more capacity and redundancy and not have to pay any large amount
for
it. I know all of the big players do it and it is the basic fabric the
internet is made of. I was just wondering if any WISPs do it and how?
