  1. Whence we came from and where do we go Ed, Mostafa, Henning, Nitin, Gustavo, Suresh, Biswanath

  2. What is success? • Different research is successful in different ways and there are many dimensions or success and impact • A research effort should be considered successful if it satisfies any of these criteria

  3. What is success? • Adoption in products/large user community • Classical criteria • Solution to real-world engineering problem • Ex. Route flapping BGP • Development of design principles • Ex. WFQ • Creation and enabling of new modes of communication • Ex. Multicast, location aware services • New abstractions, models, and tools with long term value • Ex. Network calculus • Create fundamental understanding of networking behavior • Ex. Statistical multiplexing, scalability of ad hoc networks • Education

  4. Case Studies from the Past • Multiple access • Quality of Service • Optical networks • Congestion Control • Traffic Modeling • Multicast • Active networks • Cellular • WFQ

  5. Present State • Many communication modes have already been explored • No technological hurdle to integrated services

  6. Future directions • Design protocols, architectures, theory, testbeds for future networks that enable new applications and new modes of communications. • Examples • Bandwidth on demand • High availability/resilience • Pervasive high-speed wireless with mobility • Pervasive high-speed residential access • Secure/DoS resistance • Location aware services • Energy efficiency

  7. Observation (Innovator’s Dilema) • Today’s network of the past: designed by bell-heads • Tomorrow’s network of the past: designed by hour-glass heads • Past: needed new community to think radically • Future: do it ourselves

  8. Methodologies • Platforms for moving forward • Overlays • Re-engineer today’s protocols • Fresh start / clean slate • Enhanced ability to measure success • Benchmarks • Reproducibility (public data, simulation code,...)
