       Title     : A Proposal for IP Address Encapsulation (IPAE): A 
                   Compatible Version of IP with Large Addresses

The Internet currently is seeking a means of providing for long-term 
growth by increasing the amount of address space that is available for
hosts and by decreasing the amount of table storage that is required 
for routers.  One solution to these problems is a direct upgrade to a 
new version of IP.  Another is to switch to use of a new protocol such
as CLNP which has provisions for a larger and more hierarchical 
address space.  Both require very substantial disruption to the IP 
installed base.  This proposal describes an alternative which 
minimizes overall disruption and, in fact, entirely eliminates a 
significant portion of it.
