I would be extremely appreciative if someone could explain to me how US
ISPs and backbone operators address their international connectivity
requirements:

o How is their traffic routed?
o How do peering relationships work and where do they take place?
o Who pays whom for international transport(undersea cable and/or
satellite) and services?
                                           
Sincerely,
