Excellent Explanation. Bill does a great job explaining the Internet magic, that is rarely seen, making it what it is today. His explanation on peering and how it's done is the best I've seen. I wish I knew this book was available when I took over being peering coordinator for my company. I have recommended this book to all my colleagues and anyone new to the business. Anyone interesting in peering should read this book first.

Excellent, complete reference manual. From an introduction to the differences between transit and peering, to practical advice on how to navigate peering arrangements, this book is an excellent reference manual.

Sr. Capacity Planner at TWC. I'm glad I bought this book. It is one of the best I can find in the field. The author is very knowledgeable, experienced, and insightful. I learned a great deal of the underlying business drive of Internet peering, which is a multimillion dollar question to every Internet provider.

A Peering Bible. Bill Norton has accomplished an excellent job by authoring this book and sharing his in-depth knowledge of the Internet ecosystem and hard-to-achieve experience of the industry with us. It provides a high-resolution picture of the network each of us deal with in our daily life from a business and decision-making process point of view. So for people from our industry it is a bible to prepare the business case proposals and win their negotiations, but this is not were the Playbook stops. Academicians have already enjoyed the clear-cut depiction of the data markets presented by Bill here to develop their analytic models.

Excellent reference for policy wonks. I'm an engineer turned policy wonk who writes reports on Interenet policy several times a year. I frequently have to explain how the Internet works, especially with regard to peering and transit, and find Norton's work indispensible. It's a rare report in which I don't cite Dr. Peering, so it's great to have so many of his relevant topics in one place. There's really nothing else out there that does what this book does, and fortunately The Internet Peering Playbook does it well.

A must read if you work in an ISP or IT department. This book clearly explain what is in the other side of your ISP box/router, how networks are connected together, what peering is, how IXP (GIX) were created and much more. By reading this book, you will understand how peering agreements are negociated, why some ISP are not peering each others, ponctuated with a lot of funny anectodtes. I learned so many things useful in my current job thanks to this book. I would recommend this book for anybody who wants to know more about behind the scene of the internet.
