RPI Provides:

A low-cost option to regional networks that they can use for themselves or extend to one of their members. RPI allows dedicated, private, regional-controlled access to any vendor-provided services offered at one or more of the peering exchanges. This could serve as a primary connection or redundant connection to the service.

Use cases include:

  • A regional provided a direct connection to a cloud provider for one of their university members as the member migrated their ERP system from a campus-based system to the cloud;
  • A regional connected to a gaming internet exchange to provide access to e-sports for their members; and
  • A university required resiliency to reach multiple AWS Direct Connect ports.

Service Configurations

The RPI service is offered at 10G and 100G.
