The '''Fast Local Internet Protocol''' ('''FLIP''') is a suite of [[Internet protocol suite|internet protocols]], which provide Security transparency, security and network management. FLIP was 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). [http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.100.5689 FLIP: an internetwork protocol for supporting distributed systems] ACM Transactions on Computer Systems '''11''':73–106.</ref>

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]].
