Publish-subscribe Internet routing paradigm

Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)
Despite its success, the Internet suffers from several shortcomings, forcing a fundamental reform of its paradigms and core technologies. A major flaw in the design of the Internet is its imbalance of powers in the favour of the sender of information. The network accepts anything that the sender wants to send and will make a best effort to deliver it to the receiver. This has led into increasing problems with spam mail and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, forcing companies and users to conceal their E-mail addresses and place their systems behind firewalls.The publish/subscribe paradigm (pub/sub) has been proposed as a remedy to these problems. Senders publish what they want to send and the receivers subscribe to the publications that they want to receive. Already a large share of the use of the Internet is essentially pub/sub. We need a new Internet architecture, derived from the pub/sub paradigm. This will lead into a redesign of all the layers. In the new Internet, multicast will be the norm and security and mobility are designed into the architecture, rather than added on as after-thoughts.

Signal's first apperance

2005-now

Signal's potential evolution

It could lead to...
issue type of issue/development potential impact on society timeframe for the issue to become at least 50% probable
#1 Safe and transparent internet environment resolution of uncertainty
 		very beneficial
 		now-2025
#5 Internet as a reliable source of information resolution of uncertainty
 		very beneficial
 		now-2025

Under what assumption the Weak Signal might evolve.

Common effort of developers, users, information providers and ragulation authorities.
