We believe that the current Internet has significant deficiencies that need to be solved before it can become a unified global communication infrastructure. Further, we believe the Internet.s shortcomings will not be resolved by the conventional incremental and .backward-compatible. style of academic and industrial networking research. The proposed program will focus on unconventional, bold, and long-term research that tries to break the network.s ossification. To this end, the research program can be characterized by two research questions: “With what we know today, if we were to start again with a clean slate, how would we design a global communications infrastructure”, and “How should the Internet look in 15 years.” We will measure our success in the long-term: We intend to look back in 15 years time and see significant impact from our program.
This Whitepaper describes how the program is structured, and identifies five key areas for research:
1. Network architecture
2. Heterogeneous applications
3. Heterogeneous physical layer technologies
4. Security
5. Economics & policy
