-TODO Abstract
-
+We propose an API standard for BGP Peering, also known as interdomain interconnection through global Internet Routing.
+This API offers a standard way to request public (settlement-free) peering, verify the status of a request or BGP session, and list potential connection locations.
+The API is backed by PeeringDB OAuth, the industry standard for peering authentication.
+We also propose future work to cover private (paid) peering, and alternative authentication methods.
