Abstract
In the 1970s, the ever-increasing application of computers pushed forward the development of computer networks. One famous project is the ARPANET, which was founded by the U.S. Department of Defense and laid the foundation for the Internet. Initially, the objective of developing a computer network was to enable data applications through interconnecting computers located in different sites for data sharing and message exchange. Typical applications available at that time included e-mail, news, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Telnet. Later, this technology spread quickly and widely and has now become a worldwide Internet, an essential part of our daily life. The applications supported by the Internet today include not only data applications but also real-time applications such as voice over IP (VoIP), IPTV, networked entertainment, and social networks, with new applications continuously being created. Although there have been many changes in both the number and types of applications and users on the Internet, the networking modes, which collectively refer to the principle and methodology for networking, have remained almost intact. This chapter briefly reviews the major networking modes and discusses the challenges that they may face for the future Internet.
