Abstract | What does it take for an Internet architecture to be evolvable?Despite our ongoing frustration with todays rigid IP-basedarchitecture and the research communitys extensive researchon clean-slate designs, it remains unclear how to best designfor architectural evolvability. We argue here that evolvabilityis far from mysterious. In fact, we claim that only a fewintelligent design changes are needed to support evolvability.While these changes are definitely nonincremental (i.e.,cannot be deployed in an incremental fashion starting withtodays architecture), they follow directly from the well-knownengineering principles of indirection, modularity, andextensibility. |
