Stanford Seminar - Rebooting the Internet

Explore the argument for systems architecture revision, focusing on processors, operating systems, and networking, with particular emphasis on the Internet's need for a reboot. Delve into the changing assumptions, resources, and goals that influence architectural principles. Examine what has been successful in Internet design, such as the "one ring to rule them all" approach and the "good enough rather than perfect" philosophy. Analyze missteps like the seven-layer model and treating name resolution as an afterthought. Discover emerging concepts like the unification of layering and forwarding. Engage with challenge cases driving redesign efforts, including single-packet exchanges and recursive layering. Learn about potential new directions for Internet architecture and discuss the complexities of evolution and transition in preparing for a comprehensive Internet reset. Gain insights from independent consultant Joe Touch and Keio University's David Farber in this Stanford seminar recorded on March 11, 2020.
