Abstract :
The Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP), which is supported by the associated OSI routing protocols, is proposed as a replacement for the Internet Protocol (IP). The basis of the proposal is to run the Internet transport protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on top of CLNP in an approach known as TCP and UDP with bigger addresses (TUBA). The fundamentals of CLNP and the OSI connectionless routing architecture, the operation of the IP suite with CLNP replacing IP, the support of Internet applications operating on top of TUBA, and a transition plan to a TUBA Internet are discussed.<>
