The evolution of layered protocol stacks leads to an hourglass-shaped architecture
SIGCOMM '11: Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2011 conferenceThe Internet protocol stack has a layered architecture that resembles an hourglass. The lower and higher layers tend to see frequent innovations, while the protocols at the waist of the hourglass appear to be "ossified". We propose EvoArch, an abstract ...
