    Arguments for an End-Middle-End Internet

    CHASING EME: ARGUMENTS FOR AN END-MIDDLE-END INTERNET A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Saikat Guha August 2009 c 2009 Saikat Guha ALL RIGHTS RESERVED CHASING EME: ARGUMENTS FOR AN END-MIDDLE-END INTERNET Saikat Guha, Ph.D. Cornell University 2009 Connection establishment in the Internet has remained unchanged from its orig- inal design in the 1970s: first, the path between the communicating endpoints is assumed to always be open. It is assumed that an endpoint can reach any other endpoint by simply sending a packet addressed to the destination. This assumption is no longer borne out in practice: Network Address Translators (NATs) prevent all hosts from being addressed, firewalls prevent all packets from being delivered, and middleboxes transparently intercept packets with- out endpoint knowledge. Second, the Internet strives to deliver all packets ad- dressed to a destination regardless of whether the packet is ultimately desired by the destination or not. Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are therefore common- place, and the Internet remains vulnerable to flash worms. This thesis presents the End-Middle-End (EME) requirements for connec- tion establishment that the modern Internet should satisfy, and explores the de- sign space of a signaling-based architecture that meets these requirements with minimal changes to the existing Internet. In so doing, this thesis proposes so- lutions to three real-world problems. First, it focuses on the problem of TCP NAT Traversal, where endpoints behind their respective NATs today cannot es- tablish a direct TCP connection with each other due to default NAT behavior.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 23Rd Annual Conference San Francisco April 26, 2014

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 23rd Annual Conference San Francisco April 26, 2014 The Committee of 100’s 23rd Annual Common Ground Conference convened government, corporate, and opinion leaders from across the U.S. and China to discuss key issues in the world’s most important bilateral relationship and the Asian American community. The conference focused on five central topics: Chinese digital consumers, U.S.-China strategic trust, bilateral trade and investment, economic espionage, and Asian American identity and innovation. The Honorable C -100 CHAIRMAN Edmund G. Brown Jr., Governor of the State of California, and John Chiang, Controller of the State of California, discussed California's role in building U.S.-China trade relations. Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics, gave a keynote address on China's evolving economic policies and future DOMINIC NG challenges. Jianhai Lin, Secretary of the International Monetary Fund, presented keynote remarks Chairman and CEO on trends in China’s domestic reforms, emerging market economies, and the global economy. East West Bank KEYNOTE: JOSEPH STIGLITZ, NOBEL LAUREATE IN ECONOMICS; PROFESSOR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY CONFERENCE It became increasingly clear that the strategy that had led to China’s PLANN ING enormous success over the past 25 years, its policy of export-led growth, would inevitably come to an end as it had saturated markets everywhere, COMMITTEE and that China would have to change its growth strategy. One of the resolutions from the November 2013 Third Plenum report was that the CHI-FOON CHAN market should play a decisive role in resource allocation; this is a President and Co-CEO continuation of China’s move to a market economy with Chinese characteristics.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

    SOCIAL SHAPING OF TWITTER A comparative analysis of Twitter use by Dutch and American book publishers by Annefloor F. Samsom 323904 Prof. Dr. J. Jansz (supervisor) P. McCurdy, PHD (second reader) Erasmus University of Rotterdam Faculty of History and Arts Master Media and Journalism February 2010 SOCIAL SHAPING OF TWITTER SOCIAL SHAPING OF TWITTER A comparative analysis of Twitter use by Dutch and American book publishers Annefloor Samsom [email protected] www.twitter.com/annefloors 323904 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. J. Jansz Second reader: P. McCurdy, PHD Erasmus University Rotterdam Faculty of History and Arts Master Media and Journalism 2 SOCIAL SHAPING OF TWITTER PREFACE My first encounter with Twitter was during my internship at a Digital Marketing Agency in New York City, in the summer of 2009. There I was responsible for keeping several Twitter channels updated for numerous book publishers, which can be considered as business-to-consumer tweeting. Being an active participant in the Twitter environment, I was surprised by how many people were frequently using Twitter and were willing to communicate with other users, even if it were businesses. As I was sending out tweets for clients and responded to tweets from other users, I was having a conversation with customers within the social media environment. This is where my enthusiasm for Twitter started: I believe in Twitter, and I am glad that I had the chance to be part of both Dutch and American Twitter communities. I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement of my supervisor during this thesis project, Professor Jansz. It was great to find another Twitter believer and I am thankful for the inspiring and ongoing discussions we could have about Twitter and my thesis.
