Current Research Issues
Bundle Space
- Different name-to-address binding regions
- I-Records
- Active networks Routing
- Coordination / Resource allocation (with dirtside and between peer bundle agents)
Security
- ìLow bandwidth securityî
- Key exchange / QOS / Required services
- End-to-end security vs. hop-by-hop (remember that apps are the only end-to-end)
Inter-Internet Communications
- Applications are the only thing that runs end-to-end
- Pony Express model for communications (not chatty)
- Legacy application interface to bundle space (can we do more than e-mail?)
- Application-layer timers for reliability
- Applications that react to lower layer conditions (dynamic data rate, Ö)
