The Fast-Local-Internet-Protocol is a Suite of Internet Protocols, which provide transparency, security and network management. (Tanenbaum et al., Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
It is a connectionless protocol designed to support transparency, group communication, secure communication and easy network management.
The following FLIP properties helps to achieve the efficiency requirements:
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.
FLIP routes messages based on NSAP.
FLIP uses a bit in the message header to request transmission of sensitive messages across trusted networks.
