Lucas and Luna unpack the invisible backbone of internet performance: network peering agreements. This episode drills into the 2024-2025 dispute between Cogent Communications and several major transit providers, and how a single disagreement over 'settlement-free peering' degraded user experience for millions. They explain the difference between transit and peering, the role of interconnection points like Equinix and AMS-IX, and why contracts—not just fiber—determine whether your Netflix stream buffers. A concrete look at the business deals that literally route your data.
