UCB Packets: Main Ideas The switches have no memory of packets: scalability The network is independent of the applications: flexibility The packet formats and addresses are independent of the technology: extensibility
UCB Transport
UCB Future... Before: “Simple” Network Client Server Network Packet Transport
UCB Future... Now: “Complex” Network Network Application and Contents Servers, Caches, Traffic Control, Redirection Agents, Processing
UCB Future... Server Location Server Allocation (Load Balancing) Traffic Control: Quality Contract Client Mobility Rapid Deployment: Self-configuration Role of Optical Switches New Problems:
UCB Future... Examples: Smart Dust
UCB Future... Examples: Sensor Networks Temperature around X? X
