Over the last thirty years, the terrestrial Internet has grown from a
few computers that were networked in a prototype laboratory environment
into a vast deployed system that is an indispensable component of the
present and future global economy. Key to its exponential growth has
been its underpinning of flexible and "open" standard communications
protocols (the TCP/IP suite) that permit diverse applications to
instantaneously exchange information. During the coming thirty years,
the terrestrial Internet will experience growth and evolution in ways
which are almost unimaginable. Its communications infrastructure will
experience huge increases in capacity, while a large varied of
"untethered", wireless-based applications will emerge as plug-ins to
the edges of its fiber/copper communications backbone. In the process,
the Internet's communications protocols will evolve to meet new
challenges.
The next thirty years will also see the need to expand the Internet so
that it can serve the communications needs of the progressive expansion
of human intelligence into space. The "InterPlaNetary Internet"
initiative has therefore been initiated by DARPA and NASA to chart a
course whereby the Internet may move gracefully off-planet. The
purpose of this seminar is to introduce a candidate InterPlanetary
Internet (IPN) architecture to the research community and to solicit
feedback with respect to its unique challenges. To facilitate the
establishment of an interactive dialog with (and within) the community,
the candidate architecture will be presented as a whole, followed by
discussion focused in four key areas, each punctuated by opportunities
for questions and discussion. The preliminary agenda for this seminar
is presented below:
