The internet was invented 40 years ago, the Internet is now straining under mass virus attacks, multimedia content and new mobile applications. There are many views about how to fix the Internet's architecture, but there's widespread agreement about many aspects of the future Internet.
Today's Internet has 1.7 billion users, according to Internet World Stats. This compares with a world population of 6.7 billion people. There's no doubt more people will have Internet access by 2020. Indeed, the National Science Foundation predicts that the Internet will have nearly 5 billion users by then. So scaling continues to be an issue for any future Internet architecture.
