The MultiProtocol Internet
RFC 1560, “The MultiProtocol Internet”, is an Informational document published in December 1993 by B. Leiner, Y. Rekhter. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
There has recently been considerable discussion on two topics: MultiProtocol approaches in the Internet and the selection of a next generation Internet Protocol. This document suggests a strawman position for goals and approaches for the IETF/IESG/IAB in these areas. It takes the view that these two topics are related, and proposes directions for the IETF/IESG/IAB to pursue. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
