RFC 986, “Guidelines for the use of Internet-IP addresses in the ISO Connectionless-Mode Network Protocol”, is an Unknown document published in June 1986 by R. Callon, H.W. Braun.

Abstract
This RFC suggests a method to allow the existing IP addressing, including the IP protocol field, to be used for the ISO Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP). This is a draft solution to one of the problems inherent in the use of "ISO-grams" in the DOD Internet. Related issues will be discussed in subsequent RFCs. This RFC suggests a proposed protocol for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
