CLNP is currently being deployed in the Internet.  This is useful to
support OSI and DECnet traffic.  In addition, CLNP has been
proposed as a possible IPng candidate, to provide a long-term solution
to IP address exhaustion.  Required as part of the CLNP infrastructure
are guidelines for network service access point (NSAP) address
assignment.  This paper provides guidelines for allocating NSAP
addresses in the Internet.

The guidelines provided in this paper have been the basis for initial
deployment of CLNP in the Internet, and have proven very valuable both
as an aid to scaling of CLNP routing, and for address administration.
This document is the product of the Assignment of OSI NSAP Addresses
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Draft Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
