Abstract
The architectural elements of the Internet that led to its great success are now, paradoxically, the source of its severest problems. For example, the use of autonomous systems to distribute governance has allowed rapid growth and scaling but has made the network unmanageable and unable to provide end-to-end quality of service. This article examines this and other key design elements of Internet architecture and shows how they have contributed to its success and how they now constrain it. I then use this framework to identify some key challenges that need to be addressed in the next phase of Internet research.
