There are many issues involved... we used to peer with one of our
competitors in the area. It worked pretty well, but honestly wasn't
worth the extra time and efforts for what it actually saved in
bandwidth, etc.
Now, if you could find a neutral location to bring in a bigger pipe, and
then everyone "share" from that location, you may have something. For
me, I would never allow my IP block to be controlled by anyone other
than me. Routing mistakes do happen, and it could cause you downtime or
routing problems without your knowledge or control.

I have two PoPs where I have bandwidth for my network. In the same
area 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?

Jory,
I am not sure what you are trying to do with the other WISP's in your
area. Can you a little more clear on what you are thinking of?
Regards,

them about bandwidth peering. I know that most will not want
anything to do with it since they refuse to co-operate in any other
way but I wanted to make the effort. Has anyone else done this type
of thing? What paperwork needs to be done to protect each company?
How do you control throughput to and from each network and routing
issues? Any help her would be greatly appreciated.
