Eyeball network is a slang term used by network engineers and architects that refers to an access network[1] whose primary users use the network to "look at things" (browse the Internet, read email, etc.) and consume content,[2] as opposed to a network that may be used primarily to generate its own data, or "content networks".[3]
The term "eyeball network" is often overheard in conversations and seen in articles[4] that discuss peering relationships between other networks as well as net neutrality issues.
