The IP Promise The IP Reality The Protocol Zoo

Need for a new approach to networking• A consistent model across layers

• Separate Mechanism from Policy

• Use a complete Naming Architecture

• Design repeating structures

• Uniform IPC API across layers

RINA Benefits• Just two protocols: the rest are policies

• Mobility, multi-homing, network slices for free

• Security by design without extra protocols

• No Tunnels: VPN concept is part of the architecture

• Network management simplification: reduced OPEX
