Area 3 - Future of Technologies Standardization

• Break-out Session Notes

Information Exchange Framework Proposal (Area 1)

• Entry Point Content Criteria
• Broad Interest
• Actionable
• Near Term ROI Greatest Impact in next two years
• Stretch Objective Advancing us toward goal of
  global info networks to as many people as
  possible, with the aim of giving at least 3B
  people access to the Internet by 2015
• Topics with breadth of content
• Solution Qualifier
• Ease of use

Information Exchange Framework Proposal (Area 1)

• Prioritization methods necessary? (this is for
  defining discussion areas that will be posted
  I.e. entry points)
• Agreed to start only with a single entry point
  and populations of sub folders will prioritize
  and to create a matrix (spreadsheet) of
  organizations and topics to indicate interest
• Other ideas
• Vote as Collective thoughts of delegates
• Forums vote on their proposed prioritization
• Agree to gather feedback on topic areas from our
  organizations within 3 months (end of October).
  Alex Lightman to coordinate and stimulate email
  discussion based on what is learned from 3 month
  feedback and to get us back together on Area 3.
  Simao to set up email reflector.

Actionable Questions

• How do we get to ubiquity?
• How do we ensure that traffic is secure?
• How do we ensure that individual privacy is
  protected?
• How do we ensure that those providing services
  can be paid?
• How do we ensure that network services work for
  interconnecting devices when no humans are
  involved?
• How do we ensure that the choice of one core
  technology does not lock out choices of other
  technologies in other arenas?
• How do we ensure that existing services are not
  inappropriately disrupted by new tech?
• How do we handle the competition for resources
  across provider boundaries?
• How do we handle the interconnect between
  architectures (not protocols or bearers, but sets
  of presumptions of how things are put together?)
• How do we work together so that those who want to
  cooperate are successful and those that desire to
  disrupt cooperation do not succeed?
• How do you ensure that services can be provided
  with adequate quality to meet user needs?
• How do you ensure that services can be managed
  effectively and cost effectively?

Hourglass model of the Internet The ghost of
Internet past
Many different types of host computers, data
sources, applications, and services, each with
its own custom features
Universal transport with a flexible interface
IP that is kept simple by limiting its features
to pure transport
Internet
Many different types of client devices, each
equipped to deal with any specialized services it
requires

Creates a New Virtual HourglassThe spirit of
Internet future
Many different types of services, specialized
resources, and wide-area networks. The Internet
itself becomes fragmented with different
implementations of new features such as multicast
and QoS.
A new form of value-added service absorbs the
complexity and enables broadband performance by
managing diverse network resources on behalf of
the end-user
Mediation Services
Many different types of access networks, end
users, and client devices, each receiving a
customized data format interface
