The Internet architecture, established in the 1960s and 1970s, addressed the challenge of resource sharing among hosts during an era limited by hardware constraints. With subsequent advances in integrated circuits, network equipment evolved to offer enhanced computing power at a lower cost. This progress fueled the rapid expansion of computer networks, leading to the proliferation of applications like e-commerce, digital media, social networking, and content distribution in the last decade. Today’s Internet users care more about the content itself than how and where to get it. Consequently, the current architecture doesn’t seamlessly align with modern user needs, prompting researchers to explore new designs for future networks.
