NSF Ponders New And Improved Internet

Posted by Zonk on from the can-this-one-deliver-soda-over-ip? dept.

diorcc wrote to mention a Wired article about a NSF Project that could completely rebuild the Internet as we know it. From the article: "The National Science Foundation is backing a major initiative that could lead to a completely new internet architecture, with built-in security measures and support for ubiquitous sensors and wireless communications devices, among other things. The Global Environment for Networking Investigations, or GENI, will include a research grant program to fund new architectures and an experimental facility, which has not yet been planned in detail."

    The current version has clearly been a complete failure. Maybe if they start over from scratch, this Internet thing will actually become popular.
