Why a REN?
Enable research or services that could
not be accomplished otherwise
Cost Savings (buyers club)
Aggregate demand from multiple parties
REN Services
What services are provisioned? Various
models:
REN provides all Internet connectivity
Peering network to exchange traffic between
members
Advanced peering network that might
Develop or peer with a local commercial exchange
Provide international connections (GEANT, etc)

GARNET
What model makes sense?
REN as peering network?
But, is there significant traffic between your
Universities?
How about having the REN attach to a
commercial peering point access to Google
IP Addressing
NAT is a reality
NAT is common technique to reduce
number of public IP addresses required
NAT makes some things hard.
NAT breaks things like SIP (standard-based
VoIP), which you have to work around
NAT translation device needs to know about
applications. Stifles innovation.
Makes it harder to track down viruses and
hackers
Campus Network
All campuses must have Public IP
Only need ASN if campus is multi-homed

NREN IP Addressing
Every member connected with a point to
point link
Every point to point link requires at least a /30 (4
addresses)

You can't get a CIDR block of 236 addresses rounding up, you get 256 or a /24

Applications to AfriNIC
AAU has negotiated a 50% discount on
fees with AfriNIC
FRENIA funds are available to pay the
other 50% for the first year (first year is
free)
There is no barrier to getting space
When you apply for V4 address space,
also apply for V6 space
