Abstract :
The Internet was designed with the assumption that there was one path
between a pair of communicating hosts. The TCP congestion control scheme
was added in the late 1980s to avoid congestion collapse on bottleneck
links. The growth of multihoming, both at the enterprise/campus network
level and at the host level with multiple wireless interfaces,
completely changes the situation since there are now several useable
paths between communicating hosts. In this talk, I'll survey the broad
implications of this change on the network, transport and application
layers of the Future Internet.
