The '''Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA)''' is a new computer [[network architecture]] thatproposed unifiesas [[distributedan computing]]alternative andto the currently mainstream [[telecommunicationsInternet protocol suite|TCP/IP]] model. The RINA's fundamental principle is that [[computer network]]ing is just [[Inter-Process Communication]] or IPC. The RINA reconstructs the overall structure of the [[Internet]],formingby adefining modelnew thatconcepts comprisessuch aas singleapplications repeatingand layernodes, theand DIFstructuring (Distributedthem IPCvia Facility),a whichsingle is the minimalrecurring set of componentslayers requiredthat toaggregates allowor distributedsplits IPCinto betweenscopes applicationand processespartitions as needed.
