Building a better network

The Pouzin Society's purpose is to provide a forum for developing viable
solutions to the current Internet architecture crisis. Membership is
open to qualified members of the networking community, both academic and
commercial. Please send an email to info at pouzinsociety.org
<mailto:info at pouzinsociety.org> to introduce yourself and request more
information.

Through an ongoing series of meetings, collaborative efforts and
publications, we seek to guide the emergence of a new network
architecture that will support user needs for the decades to come.

The Pouzin Society, named after Louis Pouzin, the inventor of datagrams
and connectionless networking, announces its initial organizing meeting.
The society’s purpose is to provide a forum for developing viable
solutions to the current Internet architecture crisis.

About 15 years ago, it became clear that IPv4 was reaching its limits,
and the IETF responded by creating IPv6. In 2006 came the tacit
admission that there continue to be fundamental scaling problems in the
Internet routing architecture which would only be exacerbated by IPv6,
and that Moore's Law could not save us this time. Several solutions were
proposed, all based on revising IPv6 addressing using the concept of a
locator/identifier split. Work has proceeded diligently, but a few
months ago, it became clear that not only was this approach fatally
flawed, but by implication, so was IP, or any variation of it. Academic
efforts, beginning with NewArch and continuing with FIND and GENI are no
closer to finding a solution than we were a decade ago.

In the meantime, “Patterns in Network Architecture” has appeared,
describing a simple new architecture that not only solves existing
problems but also predicts capabilities as yet unconsidered.

Initial meetings will be held in conjunction with FutureNet in Boston,
May 4 - 7. There will be a one day organizing meeting on May 4 to
discuss collaboration and next steps. On May 6 and 7 there will be a
working meeting at Boston University on the specific topic of the
current addressing crisis. There will be considerable work refining
architectural details, but the central goal of the effort is to form a
group that builds implementations of this new network architecture to
evaluate its scalability, security, and other pertinent characteristics.
