Internet - the Future B-ISDN?
Internet has fulfilled all the promises of OSI and established itself as the leading network technology
We are still missing a few things in the Internet, such as:
- Guaranteed and differentiated quality of service
- Usage based billing
- Security
- Real multicast capability
All of these are being developed to the Internet
Internet technology is developing much faster than traditional networking technology
It is a matter of (short) time before Internet technology will be widely used in public networks carrying voice and video
The future of Internet is much more than just IPv6 (Comer)
The main obstacles are political - not technical
