User:ConorMcD1/Recursive Inter-Network Architecture (RINA)
A theory for a new internet architecture by John_Day_(computer_scientist).
Networking is IPC and only IPC
It is IPC if and only if Maximum Packet Lifetime can be bounded.
If MPL can’t be bounded, it is remote storage.
Two protocols: DTP/DTCP for unreliable/reliable data transfer; one for management.
Terminology
IAP: IPC Access Protocol - protocol to carry application names and access control information.
EFPC: Protocol for Error and Flow Control - maintain shared state (synchronization) about the communication between two processes. Detect errors and provide flow control. Port-ids for identifying.
Mux: Multiplexing of messages, scheduling for QoS. One Mux per physical interface.
Dir: Used by IAP to determine which interface to use to find app.
Res Alloc:
AE: Application Entity - that part of the application concerned with communication, i.e. shared state with its peer. An app can have multiple AEs
RIB: Resource Information Base
RMT: Relaying and Multiplexing Task
CAP: ?Common Application Process - ACSE, Authentication, CMIP
SDU:
DIF: Distributed IPC Facility
DAF: Distributed Application Facility
