The Future of IP and Packet Networking: 2000-2010
IEC Publications, Pages: 343
Right now, IP is the universal vehicle of choice for accessing information, products, services, and recreational activities. This time-tested technology has been used for nearly 30 years, and businesses have used IP-based networks for the past decade. It can be said safely that IP is leading a revolution in the telecommunications industry.
Now that the public Internet is used on a global scale, IP (in particular, transmission control protocol [TCP]/IP) is becoming the central component in all operating systems that assist processors, in both home computers and large mainframe computers. The universality of IP is demonstrated in its ability to be deployed over all versions of Layer-2 network protocols (including Ethernet, Isdn, frame relay, and ATM) and many Layer-1 networks (such as Adsl and cable TV).
The predominance of IP means that, for the first time, the amount of data traffic is exceeding the amount of voice traffic on the public networks-and is increasing at an exponential rate. In addition to e-mail, the delivery of multimedia and use of Web servers for information, order processing, and entertainment is growing. IP packets are increasingly being used to deploy this data over the Internet.
To help service providers of all varieties meet the challenges presented by IP to their networks, the IEC is pleased to present The Future of IP and Packet Networking: 2000-2010. The report analyzes the current and future use of IP networking in offices, enterprise networks, WANs, home offices, and virtual private networks, as well as with wireless and satellite services. It also examines the engineering aspects of IP networks and the strategies carriers are utilizing to convert their networks to handle the exploding volume of packet transmission. Designed for executives and strategists in the telecommunications industry, The Future of IP and Packet Networking: 2000-2010 provides a solid basis upon which to make key decisions regarding IP and its role in the future network.

WHO Should Read This Report
- Regional Bell operating companies that face the problem of dealing with the costs, inefficiency, and management redundancy inherent in the operation of parallel circuit-switched voice networks and packet networks - Competitive local-exchange carriers that must eventually find a way to migrate the majority of their customers and traffic to a packet-based network - Interexchange carriers that must compete with ISPs and multiservice, multinational companies - Hardware and software vendors that must know the needs and capabilities of their customers to provide the appropriate products - Internet service providers that may be forced to consolidate their customer bases and partner with Rbocs or other national carriers - Enterprise network operators that will likely coordinate the convergence of all networks with IP as the common means of internetworking - Fixed and mobile wireless operators that are poised to usher in the new world of wireless data applications Principal Investigators
