The goal of this project is to incorporate key elements of telecommunication policy and economics into Internet architecture. As a result of technical, economic and public policy forces, the Internet's original design principles -- layering and end-to-end -- are increasingly violated. Internet Service Providers are deploying quality of service mechanisms, but only allowing their use for certain applications sold to their own subscribers. Some Internet Service Providers have used deep packet inspection techniques to implement traffic management practices that throttle or block peer-to-peer applications. To counteract this deterioration, this project will propose an interdisciplinary approach to update the Internet architectural principles to account for telecommunications policy and economics. The project will identify the flaws of the end-to-end and layering models that are not withstanding the technical, economic, and legal forces upon networking; modify these models so that they promote good technical design, respond appropriately to economic pressures, and encourage beneficial outcomes that benefit society; and validate these new models and illustrate their potential use by applying them to three case studies -- net neutrality, traffic management, and Quality of Service.This research will have a broad impact. The P.I. is developing an undergraduate course on ?The Internet and Public Policy?. This research will help bridge the gulf that exists between communication lawmakers and networking researchers by informing staff members in the United States Congress about the technical aspects of telecommunication issues, and by developing an architectural framework for the networking research community to help them consider impacts of network economics and law.

该项目的目的是将电信政策和经济学的关键要素纳入互联网体系结构。由于技术，经济和公共政策力量，互联网的原始设计原则（分层和端到端）越来越受到侵犯。互联网服务提供商正在部署服务机制，但仅允许其用于出售给自己的订户的某些应用程序。一些互联网服务提供商已使用深度数据包检查技术来实施智能或阻止点对点应用程序的流量管理实践。为了抵消这种恶化，该项目将提出一种跨学科的方法，以更新互联网架构原则，以说明电信政策和经济学。该项目将确定尽管网络时没有技术，经济和法律力量，但端到端和分层模型的缺陷；修改这些模型，使它们促进良好的技术设计，对经济压力做出适当反应，并鼓励使社会受益的有益成果；并验证这些新模型，并通过将其应用于三个案例研究（网络中立性，交通管理和服务质量）来说明它们的潜在用途。这项研究将产生广泛的影响。 P.I.互联网和公共政策是否正在开发大学课程？这项研究将通过向美国国会的工作人员通知电信问题的技术方面，并通过为网络研究社区开发建筑框架来帮助他们考虑网络经济学和法律的影响，从而帮助弥合沟通立法者和网络研究人员之间存在的海湾。
