I am looking for any and all research (and perhaps your comments), references, etc. regarding replacements for the TCP/IP protocol that do not require centralized authority structures (central authority to assign network numbers).
Please explain how you think any protocol could support non-trivial numbers of users without some arbiter to prevent address collisions. There are several alternatives to TCP being researched, but there are currently no viable alternatives to IP. S
