Architecture Revisited: the case for datagrams
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
Over the last decade the Internet has gone through an explosive growth.
The original Internet architecture design, which uses datagrams as the
basic building block, has demonstrated a great success. Is this
coincidental or consequential? How much has the original architecture
evolved over the years, and how much might it change over the next
decade? As a step towards a clearer view of the crystal ball in this
talk I will revisit some basic issues about what is datagrams and why
datagrams and discuss some of the architectural research challenges
ahead of us. |

Lixia Zhang joined the faculty of UCLA's Computer Science Department in
1995. Prior to that she was a member of the research staff at the Xerox
Palo Alto Research Center. Her previous work includes network traffic
dynamics, support for integrated and differentiated services, and
adaptive web caching; her more recent work includes Internet Distance
Map Service, sensor networking, infrastructure support for wireless
networking, and fault tolerance in large-scale distributed systems.
Zhang served on the Internet Architecture Board from 1994 to 1996; she
is currently serving on the Transport Area Directorate and IPv6
Directorate in IETF, and the vice chair of ACM SIGCOMM. From 1992 to
