The Internet of the 2000’s
Mobile IP will make roaming possible in the Internet
WLANs will provide inexpensive high-speed wireless access
IPSEC (together with ISAKMP and a PKI) will provide security
IPv6 will ultimately proliferate and solve the ROADS problem
DiffServ will provide differentiated quality of service
Gigabit Ethernet, WDM and wire-speed routing will provide inexpensive capacity to carry large scale multimedia traffic
xDSL techniques will provide high-speed access to homes and small offices
Management of large IP networks and network security is still an open issue
Management of security and other policies is an area of great interest and intensive research
Technical solutions to most problems either exist or are well underway
Internet has established itself as the leading n/wk architecture
