* Stacking DIFs on top of each other allows networks to be built from smaller and more manageable layers of limited scope. This divide-and-conquer strategy gives providers more resource management options than just over-provisioning. It also provides the basis for operating subnetworks at much higher utilization than in the current Internet.
* RINA leverages the well-known concept of separating mechanism from policy in operating systems.<ref name="policy">P. Brinch Hansen. The nucleous of a multiprogramming system. Communications of the ACM, 13(4): 238-241, 1970</ref> Applying this separation to network protocols allows a DIF to provide a common minimal set of mechanisms that once instantiated with the appropriate policies allows any transport solution to be realised.<ref>I. Matta, J. Day, V. Ishakian, K. Mattar and G. Gursun. Declarative transport: No more transport protocols to design, only policies to specify. Technical Report BUCS-TR-2008-014, CS Dept, Boston. U., July 2008</ref> Not only the transport functions of a DIF benefit from this approach, but also other ones such as management, authentication or access control; making the DIF a fully
* DIFs can be configured to not only provide the fundamental services of the traditional networking lower layers but also the services of application relaying (e.g. mail distribution and similar services), [[transaction processing]], [[content distribution]] and [[peer-to-peer]]. This removes the barrier created by the Transport Layer in the current Internet, opening potential new markets for ISPs to provide IPC services directly to their customers leveraging their expertise in resource management of lower layers.
