Abstract
The Internet ranks among the greatest achievements of 20th century Computer Science. The
basic technology was so well conceived that it has remained virtually unchanged
despite completely new applications and dramatic growth in the number of connected
computers and traffic. This eclectic talk presents a series of lessons drawn from the
Internet experience that may help us better understand how to proceed with new research.
It considers the design of protocols, general principles, technologies, the underlying
architecture, the effect of economics on networking research, and ways that experimental
research projects can be organized to ensure success.
