Abstract
This paper presents our thesis that the advantages of the internet protocol framework make it the best choice for communications protocols to, and between, networkattached peripherals (NAPs). Moreover, the IP suite is more appropriate than the specialized protocol stacks being developed for commercial NAPs. The benefits of using IP include support for heterogeneous network media, wide-area connectivity, and reduced research and development effort. We examine the issues for use of the internet protocols (TCP/UDP/IP) for NAPs, address commonly held concerns regarding its performance, and describe the Netstation project’s prototype implementations of IP peripherals. 1
