Abstract

   This document is a report on an Internet architecture workshop,
   initiated by the IAB and held at MCI on October 12-14, 1994.  This
   workshop generally focused on aspects of the information
   infrastructure on the Internet.

1. Introduction

   The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) holds occasional workshops
   designed to consider long-term issues and strategies for the
   Internet, and to suggest future directions for the Internet
   architecture.  This long-term planning function of the IAB is
   complementary to the ongoing engineering efforts performed by working
   groups of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), under the
   leadership of the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) and area
   directorates.

   An IAB-initiated workshop on the architecture of the "information
   infrastructure" of the Internet was held on October 12-14, 1994 at
   MCI in Tysons Corner, Virginia.

   In addition to the IAB members, attendees at this meeting included
   the IESG Area Directors for the relevant areas (Applications, User
   Services) and a group of other experts in the following areas:
