REN advocacy• differentiators include
– peering relationships (cost avoidance and high traffic volume - included)
– redundant commodity feeds– people connections and resources RREN
membership brings– RRENs are where you go if you need something
maybe just a bit different - e.g., experimental or application support issues
– ownership and control of regional resources which is a differentiator for some
