IPFS allows you to request data from any IPFS node with a copy using the data's [CID][cid-explainer] or content identifier. This process usually involves a lookup on the [distributed hash table][dht-explainer] and may also require establishing new connections to the nodes storing the content.

IPFS allows you to fetch data from providers using [CIDs][cid-explainer]. This process usually involves a content routing lookup to find providers for the CID in the [DHT][dht-explainer] and IPNI.

If you're running an IPFS node that serves many requests, such as a public HTTP gateway, you may be able to speed up queries by maintaining long-lived connections to nodes that provide many CIDs.

Prioritizing connections to certain peers is called **Peering**, and you can tell IPFS which peers to prioritize by editing the [`Peering` configuration][docs-peering-config] in your IPFS config file.

Peering is most helpful for nodes that have a lot of concurrent connections since it prevents the [connection manager][docs-connmgr] from dropping connections it thinks aren't "useful" any longer. If you find yourself running near the connection manager's limit, you may benefit from peering with content providers.
