What is a peering point? How many networks can you find? How many ISP can you find? List your sources.

A networks may transmit data over the internet by either using a internet exchange point or via peering. Peering refers to the method of transferring data between networks without that third party interference (2017, Sec 10.2). A network is a series of computer connections that connect to one another, there are different types of networks such as Wifi networks, internet service providers (ISP), cable network, cellular network, Bluetooth networks, satellite networks, telephone networks, radio networks, etch. In addition, each network has subnetworks, cable networks would be Opra, Bravo, Animal Planet, etc. Peering is typical in ISP networks, some common ISP that I can think of are Xfinity, AT&T and Verison. A full list of all ISP worldwide can be found at isp.today, however, it appears that there are hundreds of networks.

The network application interface allows the connection to the internet from a client/host (Tanenbaum, n.d.). The application within the host system will connect to a socket to connect to the internet. Through this socket, the application will transmit data to another computer within the network. This transmission is bidirectional, meaning it will travel both ways so that the systems may receive and send information back and forth. Figure 1 below provides an example of the network-application interface.
