Ah, TUBA was one of the IPv6 candidates.  Stands
for "TCP and UDP with Bigger Addresses."

> From RFC 1347:

This paper describes a simple proposal which provides a long-term
        solution to Internet addressing, routing, and scaling. This
        involves a gradual migration from the current Internet Suite
        (which is based on Internet applications, running over TCP or
        UDP, running over IP) to an updated suite (based on the same
        Internet applications, running over TCP or UDP, running over CLNP
        [2]). This approach is known as "TUBA" (TCP & UDP with Bigger
        Addresses).

        This paper describes a proposal for how transition may be
        accomplished. Description of the manner in which use of CLNP,
        NSAP addresses, and related network/Internet layer protocols
        (ES-IS, IS-IS, and IDRP) allow scaling to a very large ubiquitous
        worldwide Internet is outside of the scope of this paper.

I think Ross Callon (the principle author) would probably kill
me for saying this, but basically TCP/UDP over DecNet/OSI.
This was a lead candidate for adoption, but the Deering/Hinden
camp ended up winning the day.
