“…Indeed, a Net Share module linking two networking stacks such as the one on node B in Figure 2 resembles service adaptation (interface adaptation) gatewaying techniques. A major difference of our proposal is that our network sharing modules do not translate the services of a network N into those of N' as it is the case for service adaptation gatewaying [8,9]. Instead, the NetS modules simply use the services of the network N in order to transport remote procedure calls towards a stack implementing the network functionalities of N'.…”

In this paper, we get inspiration from peer to peer file sharing networks to provide a new way of inter-networking. In our proposal, nodes having access to multiple network types can share their networking resources with other peers residing in networks with different protocols and (potentially) different addressing schemes. Such neighbor nodes will form a peer to peer overlay backbone; the purpose of it being to offer to applications and protocols access to remote network stacks that their running hosts do not implement or have no direct access to. This creates RPC-like access to foreign network stacks well in line with a federation approach that avoids introducing a global overlay for integrating heterogeneous networks.

“…This meaning was widely used in the network design discussions throughout the 1970s. (For similar uses, see Baccelli, Gelenbe, and Plateau [1984]; Belsnes [1977]; Boggs, Shoch, Taft, and Metcalfe [1980];Campbell [1978]; Cerf and Khan [1976]; Chan and Georganas [1979]; Chatterjee, Georganas, and Verma [1977]; Davies [1972]; Gien and Zimmerman [1979]; Kleinrock and Kermani [1980]; Postel [1980]; Pouzin [1981]; Voydock and Kent [1983].) Finally, it is worth noting a fourth use of the term, one that did not begin to appear until the 1980s.…”

Engineering a Principle: 'End-to-End' in the Design of the Internet

The term 'end-to-end' has become a familiar characterization of the architecture of the Internet, not only in engineering discourse, but in contexts as varied as political manifestos, commercial promotions, and legal arguments. Its ubiquity and opacity cloaks the complexity of the technology it describes, and stands in for a richer controversy about the details of network design.This essay considers the appearance, in the 1970s, of the term 'end-to-end' in computer science discourse, and how the term became a point of contention within disputes about how to build a packet-switched network. I argue that the resolution of some of those disputes depended on the transformation of the term from descriptor to 'principle'. This transformation attempted to close specific design debates, and, in the process, made the term dramatically more useful in those discourses beyond engineering that eventually took a keen interest in the design of digital communication networks.The term, drawn from common parlance and given not only meaning but conviction, was shaped and polished so as to be mobile. As such, it actively managed and aligned disparate structural agendas, and has had subtle consequences for how the Internet has been understood, sold, legislated, and even redesigned.

“…This section addresses the problems encountered in utilizing an interconnected set of transmission media [5,16,39]. Facilities for routing and the use of gateways are indispensable in such an environment, though they can be ignored in intramachine communication or stand-alone broadcast networks.…”

Contemporary distributed office systems rely heavily on communication between workstations, file servers, printers, and other computerized components. The COSIE Communication Subsystem has been developed for an office system internetwork consisting of local networks of varying technologies. The communication facilities provide for the transmission of self-contained messages to mailboxes, which are referenced by capabilities and may be shared. A generalized method for pairing requests with responses supports a variety of communication paradigms, while a flexible routing algorithm permits diverse network topologies. The main emphasis in the design of the COSIE Communication Subsystem was on presenting simple mechanisms that allow more general policies and protocols to be explored.
