In order to provide highly robust and high-performance connectivity to a variety of external networks, CENIC actively pursues peering relationships with other network providers, both research network peers for the CalREN-HPR network and commodity network peers for the CalREN-DC network.

Pacific Wave is a joint project between CENIC and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop, and is operated in collaboration with the University of Southern California and the University of Washington. Pacific Wave is a state-of-the-art international peering exchange facility designed to serve research & education networks throughout the Pacific Rim and the world. It enhances research and education network capabilities by increasing network efficiency, reducing latency, increasing throughput, and reducing costs.
