Dave Clark is proposing that the NSF should fund a new demonstration
network that implements a fundamentally new architecture at many
levels.
'"Look at phishing and spam, and zombies, and all this crap," said
Clark.
"Show me how six incremental changes are going to make them go away."'
Well I suppose it is a good sales pitch, but I'm not terribly sure
that these
are a network layer problems.
Good point.
However a network architecture is not limited to network layer only
(at least in classroom network architecture goes from physical to
application layers)
I hope that figuring out which layers should hold what
responsibilities would be one of the questions to clarify in this re-
examination of network architecture effort.
We could move to a network layer with more security that makes it
impossible
for network carriers to identify or intercept such dross, which
might at
least deal with the crowd who think "filter port 25 outgoing" is
the solution
to all the Internets woes ;)
