Abstract

The Internet has permeated the economic, political, cultural and social domains of global society and transformed the way in which we present and transmit knowledge. The infrastructure underlying the Internet continues to evolve, with ramifications for not only the technical protocols that govern the way the network functions, but also implications for social, economic, and legal issues. Internet protocols affect debates about intellectual property, cyber security, and the basic performance and reliability of Internet services. What social values will be considered in the design of future Internet architectures? And how should these values be embedded within design to increase the trustworthiness, security, reliability, and usability of the Internet? The paper introduces an ethnography of the Named Data Networking (NDN) project, which hopes to redesign internet protocol, and examines the social values embedded in developing NDN standards.
