ORION and Peering

    One of the benefits of connecting to the ORION network is the significant performance enhancements ORION members achieve as a direct result of ORION’s peering agreements with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and content providers.

    ORION peering agreements are credited for diverting up to 20 per cent of ORION’s data traffic to directly peered network links, representing significant savings for ORION institutions as well as enhanced performance.
