Abstract
This paper surveys the current developments in Internet technology, with a particular emphasis on performance, and the growing need for various guarantees of quality of service. It discusses hardware technologies for increased bandwidth, mechanisms for requesting and providing specific qualities of service, and various scaling issues. Finally it discusses mechanisms needed for (but not the economics of) the Internet in the mass market. To this end, we survey changes in the areas of addressing, and flow management.
