Let me take this into a greater amount of detail:- ================ There are 'Public Peering Exchanges', these are either operated by a ColoFacility Owner or an independent entity.
e.g. Telx (Telx Internet Exchange) (http://tie.telx.com) Anyone can purchase a 1gig port or a 10gig port connection to the TIE Peering Fabric. There is a cost attached for this, and in case of Telx, it is paid to Telx. Once one is connected to a Peering Fabric such as this on.. then one is free to peer with anyone who wishes to peer with them at this Peering Fabric. Netflix, is present at a number of these peering points, and at these peering points, there is no minimum traffic level requirement from them ================== The other type of peering would be if one was to Build a transport Connection to the Entity (Netflix e.g.), and have netflix allocate a port on their router, to have dedicated private peering. This would need to be negotiated with them, and would very likely carry minimum traffic level requirement. I believe this option is great if you are an isp utilizing 10g connections to the net. For most of us, connecting via a Public Peering Exchange is the most economically feasible option. Regards.

Open Connect requires 5 GB sustained from your AS's.

We have a 1G connection to the TIE. Peering with Netflix over a peering exchange does not have any traffic requirements. Regards.

Or do they have other options?
