Area 3 - Future of Technologies & Standardization

Break-out Session Notes

225-Jul-03

Information Exchange Framework – Proposal (Area 1)

• Entry Point Content Criteria– Broad Interest– Actionable– Near Term ROI: Greatest Impact in next two years– Stretch Objective: Advancing us toward goal of “global

info networks to as many people as possible, with the aim of giving at least 3B people access to the Internet by 2015”

– Topics with breadth of content

• Solution Qualifier– Ease of use

325-Jul-03

Information Exchange Framework – Proposal (Area 1)

• Prioritization methods – necessary? (this is for defining discussion areas that will be posted – I.e. entry points)– Agreed to start only with a single entry point and populations of

sub folders will prioritize and to create a matrix (spreadsheet) of organizations and topics to indicate interest

– Other ideas:• Vote as “Collective thoughts of delegates”• Forums vote on their proposed prioritization

• Agree to gather feedback on topic areas from our organizations within 3 months (end of October). Alex Lightman to coordinate and stimulate email discussion based on what is learned from 3 month feedback and to get us back together on Area 3. Simao to set up email reflector.

Actionable Questions

1. How do we get to ubiquity?2. How do we ensure that traffic is secure?3. How do we ensure that individual privacy is protected?4. How do we ensure that those providing services can be paid?5. How do we ensure that network services work for interconnecting devices when no

humans are involved?6. How do we ensure that the choice of one core technology does not lock out choices

of other technologies in other arenas?7. How do we ensure that existing services are not inappropriately disrupted by new

tech?8. How do we handle the competition for resources across provider boundaries?9. How do we handle the interconnect between architectures (not protocols or bearers,

but sets of presumptions of how things are put together?)10. How do we work together so that those who want to cooperate are successful and

those that desire to disrupt cooperation do not succeed?11. How do you ensure that services can be provided with adequate quality to meet

user needs?12. How do you ensure that services can be managed effectively and cost effectively?

“Hourglass” model of the Internet: The ghost of Internet past

Internet

Many different types of host computers, data sources, applications, and services,

each with its own custom features

Many different types of client devices, each equipped to deal with any specialized services it requires

Universal transport with a flexible interface – IP – that is kept simple by limiting its features to pure transport

…Creates a New Virtual Hourglass:The spirit of Internet future

Mediation Services

Many different types of services, specialized resources, and wide-area

networks. The Internet itself becomes fragmented with different

implementations of new features such as multicast and QoS.

Many different types of access networks, end users, and client

devices, each receiving a customized data format &

interface

A new form of value-added service absorbs the complexity and enables

broadband performance by managing diverse network resources on behalf of

the end-user
