The document discusses various topics related to networks including wireless edge, congestion control, quality of service, transporting bits, peer-to-peer networks, Akamai, MPLS, TCP variants, active queue management, controlled-load networks, and whether networks will evolve or face a revolution. It questions the future of quality of service and if networks will be best effort or rely on proprietary solutions.

• Wireless edge
• Congestion control/TCP
• QoS
 Networks will always need to transport bits around
Market pull where there’s a will there’s a way,
but if there’s a way and no will …
•
• P2P, Akamai et al • Wide-area multicast, M2M multicast
• MPLS • Intserv
• TCP (CTCP, Cubic, BitTorrent) • AQM/ECN
Evolution or Revolution ?
Whither QoS ? A best effort future ? Proprietary networks ?
