This is going to be tough to explain to new clients asking about low priority on transit

I'd like to find out which countries/providers fall under the Peering category. Is it just the countries OVH sells to, or are there more providers outside of the allowed region?

I found this link:

http://www.ovh.co.uk/items/framework...ve_hosting.xml

There are 12 countries (including the US) listed under business bandwith, would packets sent to those countries be considered peering?
