Computer networks, in particular the Internet, represent critical infrastructure for business, government, military, and personal communication. Several recent trends in technology and network use have pushed the capabilities required of the Internet beyond what can be provided by the currently deployed infrastructure. This project develops a new architectural design for the Internet of the near future that represents a transformative shift to enable sustained innovation in the core of the network, using economic principles. The core idea of this new network architecture is to support choice as the central aspect of the architecture. A network built on these principles will be able to adapt to emerging solutions for current and future challenges. The network architecture designed and prototyped in this work aims to (1) encourage alternatives to allow users to choose from a range of services, (2) let users vote with their wallet to reward superior and innovative services, (3) provide the mechanisms to stay informed on available alternatives and their performances. Solutions are approached from different directions, reflecting the team's multidisciplinary expertise in computer networking, network systems, management science, and network economics.The broader impact of this project contributes to enhancing the functionality and usability of the next-generation Internet, which is expected to become an important piece of infrastructure. The project also integrates research and education of graduate and undergraduate students at the participating organizations, where current efforts to integrate underrepresented minorities are continued. Results from this work are disseminated in the form of an open-source prototype and publications.

计算机网络，尤其是Internet代表着商业，政府，军事和个人交流的关键基础设施。技术和网络使用的最新趋势已将互联网所需的功能推向了当前部署的基础架构所提供的功能。该项目为不久的将来的互联网开发了一种新的建筑设计，代表了一种变革性的转变，以使用经济原则在网络核心中持续创新。这种新的网络体系结构的核心思想是支持选择作为体系结构的主要方面。基于这些原则的网络将能够适应新兴解决方案，以应对当前和未来的挑战。这项工作中设计和原型的网络体系结构旨在（1）鼓励替代方案允许用户从一系列服务中进行选择，（2）让用户用钱包投票以奖励出色和创新的服务，（3）提供了知情的机制，以了解可用的替代方案及其表演。解决方案是从不同的方向探索的，反映了团队在计算机网络，网络系统，管理科学和网络经济学方面的多学科专业知识。该项目的广泛影响有助于增强下一代互联网的功能和可用性，预计将成为重要的基础设施。该项目还将参与组织的研究生和本科生的研究和教育整合在一起，在那里，当前努力整合代表性不足的少数群体的努力将继续进行。这项工作的结果以开源原型和出版物的形式传播。
