Transit and Peering Competition Game between Internet Backbone Providers
互联网骨干网转接与直联竞争博弈

Through dynamic game,we analyze how Networks asymmetric in size make a choice among interconnection models,Transit and peering and competed for users.Our paper presents that the interconnection modes of Internet backbone in our country should contain peering and transit,not only peering.Backbone networks are classified due to their different scale.The peering mode is applicable to the interconnection between backbones with similar scale,while the transit mode is better for that between backbones with asymmetric scale.Accordingly,at present,regulator should appropriately restrain the backbones with asymmetric scale adopting the peering mode,rather than promote it.The paper brings forward multiple linear regression application on assessment of IBPs'(Internet backbone providers) network value,which determines rating of IBPs.Hierarchy determines which relationships between IBPs: symmetrical peering,asymmetrical peering and transit connectivity modes.
