Abstract
The Internet and its architecture have grown in evolutionary fashion
from modest beginnings, rather than from a Grand Plan. While this
process of evolution is one of the main reasons for the technology's
success, it nevertheless seems useful to record a snapshot of the
current principles of the Internet architecture. This is intended for
general guidance and general interest, and is in no way intended to
be a formal or invariant reference model.
