U.S. Pacific Coast Peering Removes Geographic Barriers CENIC and PNWGP have combined efforts to create an advanced, extended peering facility on the U.S. West Coast. Concept: an extensible, geographically dispersed peering fabric Result: you connect at any one location on the fabric and have the option to peer with any other participant, regardless of where they are connected
