Abstract

In this talk, we examine change and the rate of change from antiquity to the present, and we extrapolate to the future. We draw on the measures of social development due to historian Ian Morris. This shows that we are in an age of exponentially-increasing rate of change that will only increase unpredictably in the future. This necessitates a flexible architecture for the Internet to handle the future. We motivate the needs by the FarmerZone project, a futuristic application of AI to precision agriculture in India. Software-defined networks (SDN) is a promising alternative to the inflexible hardware routers of today's Internet. We discuss some of the challenges of SDN. One is rollout of SDN routers without disrupting the Internet. Another is scalability of the control plane of SDN. As SDN tends to be multi-vendor, ensuring security is a particularly difficult challenge. Rapid mobility with wireless networks is another issue.
