Future Internet = content + services + management

Abstract

While the term future Internet has gained a lot of interest recently, there is little agreement on what this term means or what the future Internet looks like. By taking the viewpoint of an Internet user who is interested in using Internet services and not so much in the protocols that move data around, we first describe some possible future Internet services. In a second step we derive some network and service management requirements, and discuss some of them in more detail.
