Description: The Internet is a remarkable engineering triumph, but it has fundamental limitations in security, reliability and flexibility that have made it increasingly ill-suited to the demands being placed on it. In this program, Tom Anderson explains that incremental changes to the Internet protocols are unlikely to solve the fundamental problems with its architecture and, therefore, we need a clean-slate approach. How do we enable radically new approaches to take hold? What new approaches are possible that would enable us to build the digital communications infrastructure for the next century?
