Abstract
Internet growth has created serious problems of address space consumption and routing information explosion. A solution to these problems requires a new version of the Internet Protocol, which we call IP version 7 ('IPv7'). This memo presents architectural guidelines that any IPv7 should meet. It then discusses how an IPv7 based upon the OSI CLNP protocol would meet these requirements, and presents the reasons for the IAB's preference for this solution. Finally, it makes a three-part recommendation: (1) proceed at full speed on CIDR; (2) do the design work on IPv7 based on CLNP; and (3) continue to pursue research in advanced routing and other future extensions of the Internet architecture.
