====== Peering Policies Examples ======

Peering policies can be broadly classified into three types: restrictive, selective and open policy. An ISP applies a policy according to its current status (//e.g.// Tier 1, Tier 2, …) and its willingness to conclude new peering agreements.
  - Restrictive peering policy: A restrictive policy is typically applied by Tier-1 ISPs. See for example the peering policy of [[http://www.corp.att.com/peering/ | AT&T]] or [[http://www.qwest.com/legal/peering_na.html | QWEST]].
  - Selective peering policy: A selective policy is typically applied by Tier-2 ISPs. See for example the peering policy of [[http://www.bt.net/info/peering.shtml | BT]] or [[ http://peering.as5410.net/ | Bouygues Telecom]].
  - Open peering policy: An open policy is typically applied by small national ISPs (Tier-3 ISPs). See for example the peering policy of [[http://www.nac.net/eng/peering.asp | NetAccess]].
