peering
Scrutinizing with effort
Peering is looking intently or with difficulty, often by narrowing the eyes or leaning closer: She peered through the fog, He peered at the fine print.
The word suggests straining to see something not easily visible.
In networking, peering is the direct exchange of internet traffic between providers, bypassing intermediaries.
