gives a talk at Google, "A New Way to Look at Networking."

Some ideas presented in the talk about his new network model:
* data-oriented "dissemination" network instead of node-oriented internet
* every chunk of data on the network is associated with a name, not an
IP address (the data matters, not the supplier)
* data is decentralized and ubiquitous; data doesn't live at one
specific location
* literally anything that can move bits can be a part of the network
* no more network congestion
* security, trust and integrity are derived from the data itself, not
from where it supposedly originated or the channel it arrived on
* eliminating phishing, pharming and spam would be trivial
* SSL would become irrelevant
* finer grained control over traffic, including a way to prioritize
incoming traffic - example: email and gaming traffic in one household
can be arranged so that email always gets delivered first before any
gaming traffic starts or continues. currently there's no way to do this.
* today's protocols are designed for a point-to-point conversation
between two applications on two machines. instead, the new network
should distribute data much like a radio tower would broadcast radio
signals ((multi)point-to-multipoint); instead of many copies of the same
data going to recipients one at a time, a single copy goes to every
recipient simultaneously.
