The recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) such as large language models enable the design of the Faster than LIght speed Protocol (FLIP) for Internet. FLIP provides a way to avoid congestion, enhance security, and deliver faster packets on the Internet by using AI to predict future packets at the receiving peer before they arrive. This document describes the protocol, its various encapsulations, and some operational considerations.
This reminded me of that joke about two guys who meet in the middle of the Savanna. One is carrying a phone booth and the other one an anvil. So, the one with the anvil asks:
- Why do you carry a phone booth around?
- Oh, you see, it's for the lions. If I see a lion, I drop the booth, step inside and I'm safe. What's with the anvil?
- It's for the lions too. If I see a lion, I drop the anvil and I can run way faster!
