Abstract

Drawing on 15 years of investment in analyzing various types of Internet data (workload, topology, routing, and performance), Dr. Claffy describes what we have learned, and what we have failed to learn from Internet measurement. She will discuss how to best apply both (the learnings and the failures) to future cyberinfrastructure research and development, and outline some assumptions about the current architecture that we still need to investigate with more rigorous underpinnings. She will cover background on the historical context of funding for Internet research and development, and articulate the set of most paramount and pervasive weaknesses in the current infrastructure. She will also argue that technological and political forces will inevitably demand a re-evaluation of the fundamental aspects of Internet architecture, engineering, and governance.
