Odhiambo, Well, on a first thought, if you get rid of TCP/IP, you get rid of Internet. Now one could conceive something to replace TCP, new protocols appears all the time. But IP is Internet, you can hardly get rid of it... or it will take ages to have some compatible solution, some bridges, etc. Until only the new solution is in use: think about all the existing routers, they use IP and are not compatible with any new system, so compatibility will have to be there for the next 10 or 20 years. See the example of IPv6: it has been there for 20 years or so, but is it being used? See the example of OSI? Never take off.
