The Internet has enabled an unprecedented adoption of new communication services and revolutionized both personal and business relationships and interaction patterns. Most of the core technological foundations and principles of the Internet network and transport layers were designed during the 1970s and 1980s, with only a few crucial components having been added since then. Significant technical progress has improved the internals of packet delivery and increased the diversity of application services, but not fundamentally changed the way the Internet operates overall. Numerous research proposals have described advanced communication mechanisms, but very few such proposals have been deployed in the network infrastructure. In the research community, it is largely undisputed that the current Internet architecture has reached inherent functional limits for supporting advanced communication scenarios. This research program investigates core principles and mechanisms of any communication internetwork. It covers the full spectrum of related research questions, ranging from basic principles and algorithms to network stack implementations in operating systems.

互联网使人们能够前所未有地采用新的通信服务，并彻底改变了个人和商业关系以及互动模式。互联网网络和传输层的大多数核心技术基础和原则都是在20世纪70年代和80年代设计的，此后只增加了一些关键组件。重大的技术进步改善了数据包传输的内部结构，增加了应用服务的多样性，但并没有从根本上改变互联网的整体运行方式。许多研究建议已经描述了先进的通信机制，但很少有这样的建议已经部署在网络基础设施。在研究界，目前的互联网架构已经达到了支持高级通信场景的固有功能极限，这在很大程度上是无可争议的。该研究计划研究任何通信互联网络的核心原理和机制。它涵盖了相关研究问题的全部范围，从基本原理和算法到操作系统中的网络堆栈实现。
