Abstract
Current networking architectures and mechanisms have been successful beyond
all expectations. Efforts to make the current Internet even better, such as IPv6, are important, but looking ahead ten years or more it is clear that other new structures will be needed. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has
started a research effort called FIND to encourage careful experimentation to
provide a strong basis for future networking. NSF is also developing plans for
an advanced experimental environment called GENI to support networking
experimentation.
