  6. After the PC … • Not about gadgets or access technologies • About services and applications • Increasing, not decreasing, diversity • Enabled by computing embedded in communications fabric

  7. The Shape of Things Now • Siemens SL45 • A cellular phone with voice command, voice dialing, intelligent text for short messages • An MP3 player & headset • A digital voice recorder • Supports “Mobile Internet” with a built-in WAP Browser • Can store • 45 minutes of music • 5 hours of voice notes • “Unlimited” addresses/phone numbers

  16. Co-Location Scalable Servers WebCaches Services Within the Network: Content Distribution “Internet Grid” Parallel Network Backbones Internet Exchange Points

  17. Services in the Internet:Napster, Gnutella, Freenet, … • Something more than illegally sharing RIP’d music and videos from CDs and DVDs … • Cooperative construction of directories • Peer-to-peer computing vs. client-server computing • No centralized index/performance hot spot/target for denial of service attack, etc. • BUT existing “chatty” implementations generate a lot of network traffic • Technologies will evolve for efficient sharing of information within communities • E.g., Lotus Notes, newsgroups, etc. • Linking library catalogs together

  18. Content Distribution Through MulticastOverlay Network Content Broadcast Network Edge Servers Load Balancing Thru Server Redirection; Content Broadcast Management Platform and Tools RedirectionFabric Inter-ISP Redirection Peering Services Within the Network:Streaming Media Broadcasters Clients Steve McCanne

  19. Service-Level PeeringVia Redirection • Need common architecture to allow different vendors to create different components and work with one another while still competing • The challenges • Define the redirection architecture • New client/infrastructure protocol & API (a la DNS) • Do so in backward compatible way • Others… • One of the next big architectural issues for the Internet… McCanne, FFNets

  20. multicast cloud multicast cloud multicast cloud multicast cloud multicast cloud Enabled by Application-Specific Overlay Networks E.g., solve the multicast management and peering problems by moving up the protocol stack Isolated multicast clouds Traditional unicast peering Steve McCanne

  21. Application-Level Servers/Routers Solve the multicast management and peering problems by moving up the protocol stack Steve McCanne

  27. Presentation Outline • Convergence, Divergence, Competition • The Unexpected Evolution of the Internet • Services-Enabled Networks • Implications for Mobile Wireless Networks • Summary and Conclusions

  28. The iMode Story • 21 million Internet-capable cellular phone subscribers • NTTDoCoMo has become the world’s largest ISP! • Most frequent used applications: • Voice conversations • Text messages • Animated cartoons • Specialized ringing tones • Japanese teenagers, especially females, driving the competitive development of new services!

  29. Huge Expense of New Telecomms Infrastructures • Auctions for 3G spectrum: 150 billion ECU;Capital outlays may match spectrum expenses, all before first revenue • Build it, but will they come? • Compelling services make the difference • Alternative business model • Collaborative deployment of wireless infrastructure • Competitive provisioning of services • Better way to build a network? … • Partition frequencies based on subscriber density • Eliminate duplicate antenna sites • Leverage common backhaul networks

  30. Application Services in the Mobile Wireless Network • Enabling more user-centered/adaptive apps • User preference management services • Application coordination services • Context-awareness services • Content-localization services • Mobility-model extraction services • Content adaptation to access network performance • Content adaptation to access client capabilities • Storage migration in response to user mobility • Special about mobile wireless? • Exploitation of location and mobility • Resource constrained nature of wireless environment

  31. Infrastructure Services in the Mobile Wireless Network • Forming dynamic confederations • Discovering confederates, establishing trust • Open service/resource allocation model • Service creation, establishment, placement; • Exchange resources, capabilities, status; • Allocate based on economic methods; • Manage trust among participants; • Service brokering/peering • Dynamically construct overlays on component services provided by underlying service providers • Redirect to alternative service instances

  32. Presentation Outline • Convergence, Divergence, Competition • The Unexpected Evolution of the Internet • Services-Enabled Networks • Implications for Mobile Wireless Networks • Summary and Conclusions

  33. The Post-PC Era • Not about specific Information Appliances • Services spanning access networks, to achieve high performance/manage end device diversity • Builds on the New Internet • Opening up of the connectivity “cloud” • Embedding computing in the communications fabric • Pervasive support for “intelligent” services • Near you for faster access, more personalized, more localized • Scalable to deal with surges in demand as needed
