A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Architecture Board Working Group of the IETF.
Title : The Rise of the Middle and the Future of End to End:
Reflections on the Evolution of the Internet
Architecture
Author(s) : J. Kempf, R. Austein
Filename : draft-iab-e2e-futures-01.txt

The end to end principle is the core architectural principle of the
Internet. In this document, we briefly examine the development of the
end to end principle as it has been applied to the Internet
architecture over the years. We discuss current trends in the evolution
of the Internet architecture in relation to the end to end principle,
and try to draw some conclusion about the evolution of the end to end
principle, and thus for the Internet architecture which it supports, in
light of these current trends.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-iab-e2e-futures-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
