The '''Fast- Local- Internet- Protocol''' ('''FLIP''') is a Suitesuite of [[Internet Protocolsprotocol suite|internet protocols]], which provide [[Transparency (computing)|transparency]], security and network management. (TanenbaumFLIP etwas al.,designed at the [[Vrije Universiteit]] in Amsterdam to support [[remote procedure call]]ing in the [[Amoeba (operating system)|Amoeba]] distributed operating system.<ref>M. Frans Kaashoek, Robbert van Renesse, Hans van Staveren and Andrew S. Tanenbaum (1993).

In the [[OSI model]], FLIP occupies [[Network layer|layer 3]], thus replacing [[Internet Protocol|IP]], but it also obviates the need for a transport-level protocol like [[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]].

<br/>

ItFLIP is a connectionless protocol designed to support transparency, group communication, secure communication and easy network management. <br/><br/>The following FLIP properties helps to achieve the efficiency requirements:

<br/>

*FLIP identifies entities called network service access points (NSAPs).

*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. <br/>

<br/>

*FLIP routes messages based on NSAP.<br/>

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. <br/>

*FLIP uses a bit in the message header to request transmission of sensitive messages across trusted networks.
