Inhaltsangabe

People tend to think of the Internet as a "fait accompli", the fully-rounded information provider for now and the future. However, like all technologies, it can reach its limits and be reengineered in a completely new form. Most Internet engineers now believe this to be the case, and since 1993 various organisations and corporations have been designing and testing possible replacements including Internet2 and other next-generation Internets. Accordingly, it is now imperative that policy makers and network developers everywhere understand what has already happened in the development of Internet2 and what the world can expect in the future. This text offers a resource which provides such information. It explains why a next-generation Internet (NGI) is needed; what design issues have to be resolved (including technical, economic, and political issues); and describes all the emerging technologies that are being used to create the NGI. Timed to release when the first NGI is opened to public use in the United States, this book is written by experts who are directly involved in the design and operation of Internet2.

A guide to understanding the emerging technologies and services of the new Internet

The groundwork for the next generation Internet (NGI) is rapidly being laid, and now it′s only a matter of time before a truly universal, fully interactive, multimedia Information Superhighway is realized. Many organizations are already connecting to powerful new Internet services. Enabling the seamless convergence of communications and computation, the next version of the Internet will be no mere upgrade; it will be based on a communications technology revolution.

Written by Joel Mambretti and Andrew Schmidt, who have been intimately involved with the development of the next generation Internet, this book helps you to understand and prepare for the internetworking revolution. The authors explain why we need a next generation Internet and discuss the crucial design issues we face, from the application, technical, and network services perspectives. They also explore in detail the enabling technologies behind the next generation Internet. Writing for both corporate decision–makers and the technical community, they present:
∗ Architecture
∗ Services and service management
∗ Core protocols and technologies
∗ Standards, governance, and ongoing partnerships
∗ Differentiated Services
∗ GigaPOPs
∗ National and international pilot programs–both active and planned
∗ International next generation Internet projects
∗ Universal accessibility
∗ Advanced Internet applications
