Some Characteristics of the Current Internet

Some Characteristics of the Current Internet

• Users are increasingly nomadic and expect the network to adapt itself automatically to the terminal

• Main extensions such as multicast, QoS and IP mobility have failed to be widely deployed

• Performance problems are usually taken care by patching

• Implementation of security solutions left to end-user or closest organisation

• Frontier between data services and distribution services (TV, Video On Demand) is becoming progressively more blurred

• Current structure is becoming increasingly unable to accommodate emerging technology disruptions and the applications that it itself has inspired. Emerging problems include:

– Bandwidth as a managed resource

• High bandwidths over-proportionally expensive

• Commercial providers slow to provide new competitive services

– Monitoring and managing the end-end L1/L2 path

• Domains of responsibility – who pays for content delivery and P2P?

• Equipment heterogeneity, etc

Some Issues with the Current Internet1/2

Some Issues with the Current Internet1/2

– Current patch-work or point solutions ineffective

• Overall configuration sensitive and difficult

– A vast (and sometimes absurd) collection of protocol stacks

– Large part of failures resulting from misconfigurations

– Security problems

– Definition, uptake and deployment of standards

• G.709, GFP, LCAS/VCAT

Some Issues with the Current Internet2/2

Some Issues with the Current Internet2/2

Key Present-Day TrendsKey Present-Day Trends

• Developments within the present IP and Internet architectures (no disruption at the architecture level)

– Increase capacity in order to handle the traffic of video-related services

– Improve quality of services in terms of performance and reliability

+• Research to reverse the current design from

– User-defined services communication

– Multi-service networks multi-network services
