RINA (Recursive InterNetwork Architecture)

RINA (Recursive InterNetwork Architecture) is an approach to computer networking that simplifies how devices communicate. Instead of using separate protocols for different tasks, RINA treats all network activities as a unified process, organizing them into layers that can be reused recursively. This design makes networks more adaptable, secure, and easier to manage by enabling each layer to function independently and communicate seamlessly. Essentially, RINA aims to replace the traditional, fixed-tier internet structure with a flexible, consistent system that handles data flow more efficiently across various networks.
