The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) through its IP Stack Evolution
program, the Internet Society, and the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology (ETH) Zurich hosted the Stack Evolution in a Middlebox
Internet (SEMI) workshop in Zurich on 26-27 January 2015 to explore
the ability to evolve the transport layer in the presence of
middlebox- and interface-related ossification of the stack. The goal
of the workshop was to produce architectural and engineering guidance
on future work to break the logjam, focusing on incrementally
deployable approaches with clear incentives to deployment both on the
endpoints (in new transport layers and applications) as well as on
middleboxes (run by network operators). This document summarizes the
contributions to the workshop and provides an overview of the discussion
at the workshop, as well as the outcomes and next steps identified by
the workshop. The views and positions documented in this report are
those of the workshop participants and do not necessarily reflect IAB
views and positions.
This document is a product of the Internet Architecture Board.
