Tussle in<br>Cyberspace: Defining Tomorrow’s Internet. David D. Clark, John Wroclawski, Karen R. Sollins (MIT LCS), Robert<br>Braden (USC)
The architecture of the Internet is based on a number of principles, including<br>the self-describing datagram packet, the end to end arguments, diversity in<br>technology and global addressing. As the Internet has moved from a research<br>curiosity to a recognized component of mainstream society, new requirements<br>have emerged that suggest new design principles, and perhaps suggest that we<br>revisit some old ones. This paper explores one important reality that<br>surrounds the Internet today: different stakeholders that are part of the<br>Internet milieu have interests that may be adverse to each other, and these<br>parties each vie to favor their particular interests. We call this process<br>``the tussle''. Our position is that accommodating this tussle is crucial to<br>the evolution of the network's technical architecture. We discuss some<br>examples of tussle, and offer some technical design principles that take it<br>into account.
