Abstract

During the 19th century, ICT services and innovations have enabled humans and machines to interact in various ways. The very basic and most important invention was the “Internet,’’ which actually connected and thus became the baseline for the rest of the upcoming discoveries in almost every scientific field of research. Today, the Internet is used by everyone regardless of their location, and people are depending on the Internet more than ever expected, even by its initial developers. In fact, it is not a difficult assumption to say that the rapid increase in the use of the Internet will bring several challenges to service providers. lasting past decades, we have seen the demands of end users increase faster than research and development efforts in the area of telecommunications. For example, today we want to FaceTime, YouTube, and Skype on the go rather than make a simple landline audio call with fixed wires. Similarly, much essential software and many systems require a significant amount of bandwidth. In short, we need to change the architecture of the Internet in the near future, and we expect that the new architecture will contribute to change the focal point of communications from host-centric to information-centric because today we are interested in services, rather than sources, providing content. In this introductory chapter, we will discuss the history of the Internet and why we require new developments such as content-distribution networks, peer-to-peer networks, and multi-cast communications. In addition, we enlighten our readers with the possible outcomes of the current research going on in the field of the future Internet.
