Lectures notes for 2010 - KTH

Future of the Internet
An important part of the success of the current internet is the engineering design
decision to make the network “stupid” - thus the intelligence is in the endpoints
and not in the core network (the exact opposite of traditional telephony networks).
⇒ end-to-end principle [4]
This end-to-end principle has driven both innovation and policy (see for example
[12] and current arguments regarding “network neutrality”).
