Developing a RINA prototype over UDP/IP using TINOS

Abstract

RINA is a very promising internetwork architecture based on the fundamental patterns presented in the "Patterns in Network Architecture" book. This paper describes the rationale, major design choices and implementation of a RINA prototype over UDP/IP. The prototype is mainly a tool for research and experimentation, the outcome of this work is not meant to be the final solution, but a vehicle to think deeply and experiment around RINA open research areas.
