# FLIP identifies entities with a ___location-independent 64-bit identifier called ''Network Service Access Points'' (NSAPs). An entity can, for example, be a [[Process (computing) |process]]; contrary to the IP protocol where an [[IP address]] identifies a [[Host (network) |host]].

# FLIP uses a one -way mapping between the “private” address, used to register an endpoint of a network connection, and the “public” address used to advertise the endpoint.

# FLIP routes messages based on NSAP (transparency).

# FLIP discovers routes on demand.
