This said networks of the future will be different and is
very likely to work on different protocols. Such networks do not need full time
chaperoning which is the work of more than one system administrator. These
networks have been named adaptive networks; their job is to provide a
personalized experience for each user, with minimal maintenance. Adaptive
Networks also perfectly compatible with different applications life Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), video conferencing, video surveillance, wireless
applications computing on demand or any other application that develop new and
used by us. Currently, most networks have a one size fits all philosophy when
it comes to applications and new demands when they start up on the network,
begins to show signs of imminent collapse. Safety is also an important aspect,
and future networks will be able to detect security attacks and take steps to
defend itself, much like the body's immune system.
The scenario seems very Utopian, but already the Pro Curve
Networking initiative from the networking arm of HP has a neat solution that
will make future networks "think" the way it's supposed to. Each port
(path) on the router or switch will have individual silicon chips that control
the flow of network traffic. So one chip manages your toaster the other third
computer and TV. These mini processors will have software installed on them to
optimize the operation of the device every connected to them and because the
software is programmable ports can easily switch from one application to
another according to demand.
