Una visión biológica para la arquitectura de internet

In the last years a great interest has emerged for the research on the evolutionary Internet architecture or the clean-slate design for the future architectures. It is evident that although the network architectures are designed from scratch, they tend to evolve as their environment changes. This has raised some key questions: What makes network architecture to evolve? What determines the ability of a network architecture to evolve while its environment changes? In this work, some relevant ideas about the evolutionary ability of biology are reviewed, and they are compared with the evolution of computer network architectures. The role of robustness and modularity with respect to the evolutionary abilities of networks is evaluated. The evolutionary core and punctuated equilibrium are also discussed; they are two important concepts that may be relevant to the so-called ossification of the basic Internet protocols. Finally, an analysis is made on the optimization, a design objective that is often of primary interest in engineering but does not seem to be in biology.
