[RTC List] Technological aspects for local peering?

[Kevin Nelson]

Does anybody have any ideas about the technological and the economic aspects
behind setting up local peering? Location requirements, equipment needed,
connections needed, management needed...?

What I am wondering is if the idea is as formidable as it initially seems.
Because of the vastness of the Internet, I wonder if there is not a simple
drop-in solution possibly available, if the right direction was noticed.
(Corporate firewalls were once very big, expensive items. Then a few
developments occurred and I lost a job installing them because they became
so simple.)

I think a discussion of this would be useful, now that we have "let the
genie out of the box" concerning the idea.

Thanks,
Kevin Nelson
