Peering refers to a situation when separate ISPs connect their networking equipment together to share traffic.

Explanation:

In computer networking, peering is a voluntary interconnection of administratively separate Internet networks for the purpose of exchanging traffic between the users of each network.

It allows ISPs to directly hand off traffic between each other's customers, without having to pay a third party to carry that traffic across the Internet for them.
