Both the below papers have the same theme.
But they provide an interesting insight into the future design philosohy of the
Internet. If read properly, one could find many good research areas to pursue in
Networking. (Read at leisure and with concentration).
1. Rethinking the design of
the Internet: The end-to-end arguments V/s the brave new world:
This paper looks at the Internet and the
changing set of requirements for the Internet that are emerging as it becomes more commercial, more oriented
towards the consumer, and used for a wider set of purposes. We discuss a set of principles that have guided
the design of the Internet, called
the end to end arguments, and we conclude that there is a risk that the
range of new requirements now emerging could have the consequence of compromising the
Internetâs original design principles.
Were this to happen, the Internet might lose some of its key features, in
particular its ability to support new and
unanticipated applications. We link this possible outcome to a number of trends: the rise of new
stakeholders in the Internet, in particular Internet Service Providers; new government interests; the
changing motivations of the growing user base; and the tension between the demand for trustworthy overall operation and
the inability to trust the behavior of
individual users.
2. Tussle in Cyberspace Defining Tomorrow's
Internet
The architecture of the Internet is based
on a number of principles,including the
self-describing datagram packet,the end
to end arguments,diversity in technology and global addressing.As the Internet has moved from a research
curiosity to a recognized component of
mainstream society, new requirements have
emerged that suggest new design principles,and perhaps suggest that we revisit some old ones.This paper explores one important reality that
surrounds the Internet today:di .erent
stakeholders that are part of
theInternetmilieu have interests that may be adverse to each other,and these parties each vie to favor their
particular interests.We call this process
éhe tussle ãOur position is that
accommodating this tussle is crucial to the evolution ofthenetwork ç technical architecture.We discuss some examples of tussle,and o .er some technical
design principles that take it into
account.
