RINA

RINA (Recursive InterNetwork Architecture) is a modern networking approach that reorganizes how data is transmitted across networks. Instead of traditional layered protocols like the Internet, RINA treats network functions as a series of similar, repeatable layers called "domains." Each domain manages its own security, error handling, and flow control, simplifying network design and improving flexibility. By adopting a uniform framework, RINA aims to enhance scalability, security, and manageability, making networks more adaptable to future needs. Essentially, it provides a more consistent and organized way to connect devices and transmit data efficiently.
