==Internal connections== Colocation facility owners have differing rules regarding cross-connects between their customers, some of whom may be carriers. These rules may allow customers to run such connections at no charge, or allow customers to order such connections for a monthly fee. They may allow customers to order cross-connects to carriers, but not to other customers. Some colocation centres feature a "[[meet-me-room]]" where the different carriers housed in the centre can efficiently exchange data.<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=A Lesson in Internet Anatomy: The World's Densest Meet-Me Room|language=en-US|magazine=Wired|url=https://www.wired.com/2008/04/gallery-one-wilshire/|access-date=2021-09-15|issn=1059-1028}}</ref> Most [[peering]] points sit in colocation centres and because of the high concentration of servers inside larger colocation centres, most carriers will be interested in bringing direct connections to such buildings. In many cases, there will be a larger [[Internet exchange point]] hosted inside a colocation centre, where customers can connect for peering.<ref>{{cite web|title=Learn About Colocation Benefits And How To Get Started|url=https://www.psychz.net/client/kb/en/learn-about-colocation-benefits-and-how-to-get-started.html|website=Psychz.Net }}</ref>
