Poster: Private Internet: A Global End-to-End Service Model

The public Internet is a network of autonomously owned and operated networks. Outdated peering policies and lack of end-to-end performance guarantees are causing its ossification which have led large cloud and content providers to build their own global private backbone infrastructures. As much as these private backbones help eliminate public transit for content hosted across their networks, content hosted elsewhere is still carried over the public Internet. In this poster, we propose a model where these private backbone operators collaborate with the access-networks of content providers and consumers to implement end-to-end network services with better performance characteristics than the public Internet. We call the resulting end-to-end service domain as a "Private Internet".
