This document extends RFC 1958 by outlining some of the philosophical
guidelines to which architects and designers of Internet backbone
networks should adhere.  We describe the Simplicity Principle, which
states that complexity is the primary mechanism that impedes efficient
scaling, and discuss its implications on the architecture, design and
engineering issues found in large scale Internet backbones.
