Abstract:
The paper deals with the current findings of the Think Tank group of experts from all over the world working within EU FP7 project “Evolving Future Internet for European Leadership – EIFFEL”.

In the on-going work it becomes evident that different views exist regarding the missing parts or concepts of the current Internet network architecture. Some scenarios of Internet evolvements based on the stakeholder’s incentives show divers directions of development. This paper introduces the major findings regarding the identified challenges and the evolutionary mechanism suggested by the EIFFEL Think-Tank.
