The eFIT (Enabling Future Internet innovations through Transit wire) project aims to enable future innovations by ensuring strong universal connectivity at the architectural level. Innovations are enabled by the abundant and affordable computing resources provided by Moore's Law, and universal connectivity provided by the Internet. Computing resources are likely to become more plentiful and affordable, but the universal connectivity provided by the Internet is facing major challenges, as demonstrated by the prevalent use of network address translation (NAT) and accelerated growth of the global routing table. The current Internet architecture provides end-to-end connectivity by putting both user networks and Internet service providers (ISPs) in the same address and routing spaces. User networks and ISPs have different purposes, distinct characteristics, and are moving in almost opposite technological directions. However the inter-dependency between network users and ISPs imposed by the existing architecture creates a major roadblock to future Internet innovations.When a system grows larger in size by orders of magnitude, a change in form becomes necessary. The eFIT design enables innovation by first focusing on universal connectivity. eFIT places user networks and provider networks in different address and routing spaces, removing the inter-dependency between the two worlds. With eFIT, users can simply treat the Internet transit core as a transit wire with strong universal connectivity, while providers are insulated from the various problems caused by explosive growth in user networks. Therefore both users and providers will be able to innovate freely on their own without any architectural constraints.Broader Impact: This new architecture design will have a broad impact on the research community, service providers, and Internet users. eFIT enables graduate students to explore new directions for fundamental problems such as security. Even more broadly, it will liberate Internet users from the current architectural constraints and encourage a new wave of application innovations.

EFIT（通过Transit Wire启用未来的Internet创新）旨在通过确保在建筑层面上有强大的普遍连接来实现未来的创新。 摩尔法律提供的丰富且负担得起的计算资源以及互联网提供的通用连接能够实现创新。计算资源可能会变得更加丰富和负担得起，但是互联网提供的通用连通性面临着重大挑战，正如普遍使用网络地址翻译（NAT）和加速全球路由表的加速增长所证明的那样。 当前的Internet体系结构通过将用户网络和Internet服务提供商（ISP）（ISP）放在同一地址和路由空间中来提供端到端连接。 用户网络和ISP具有不同的目的，不同的特征，并且正在朝着几乎相反的技术方向移动。但是，现有体系结构施加的网络用户和ISP之间的相互依赖性为未来的互联网创新带来了主要的障碍。当系统随数量的数量级增长时，形式的变化就会变得更大。 EFIT设计可以首先关注通用连通性来实现创新。 EFIT将用户网络和提供商网络置于不同的地址和路由空间，从而消除了两个世界之间的相互依存关系。借助EFIT，用户可以简单地将Internet Transit Core视为具有强烈通用连接性的公交线，而提供商与用户网络中爆炸性增长引起的各种问题隔离开来。因此，用户和提供商都将能够自由地自由创新，而无需任何建筑限制。Broader的影响：这种新的建筑设计将对研究社区，服务提供商和互联网用户产生广泛的影响。 EFIT使研究生能够探索针对安全等基本问题的新方向。更广泛地说，它将使互联网用户摆脱当前的架构约束，并鼓励新的应用程序创新浪潮。
