        Title:      The MultiProtocol Internet

This document was prepared by the authors on behalf of the Internet
Architecture Board (IAB).  It is offered by the IAB to stimulate
discussion.  There has recently been considerable discussion on two
topics: MultiProtocol approaches in the Internet and the selection of
a next generation Internet Protocol. This document suggests a strawman
position for goals and approaches for the IETF/IESG/IAB in these
areas. It takes the view that these two topics are related, and
proposes directions for the IETF/IESG/IAB to pursue.
