RFC 986: Guidelines for the use of Internet-IP addresses in the ISO Connectionless-Mode Network Protocol
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 1069.
Current version: RFC 1069 — Guidelines for the use of Internet-IP addresses in the ISO Connectionless-Mode Network Protocol
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
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.
