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

The end to end principle is the core architectural guidline 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-04.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.
