Network protocol may be the most important component needed to construct computer network. One widely suggested protocol is the ISO OSI reference model, which has seven layers, each performing a well-defined function. Unfortunately, the overhead created by all these layers is substantial and plenty of computing capacity would be available for running complex protocols. A network protocol, CNUNP, is a proposed one aimed at the reduction of this protocol overheads. In this paper we will introduce the prototype design of lower layers for CNUNP, and discuss service functions in each layer and the implementation details.
