AS Peering Policy Dataset

Autonomous Systems (ASes) on the Internet engage in settlement free peering to enhance connectivity, reduce transit costs, and improve network performance by shortening traffic paths. ASes interested in peering typically outline their requirements, restrictions, preferences, and routing practices in policy documents. These documents offer valuable insights into the complexities of peering practices. However, the lack of a standardized structure for these policy documents complicates their analysis. To address this challenge, we used a natural language processing (NLP) based methodology to extracts and organizes information from these documents into a structured dataset, making it readily available for analysis and modelling. You can download the dataset from the link below.
