Workshop Report: Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA-03) Steven Bauer, Xiaowei Yang {bauer,yxw}@mit.edu Introduction The Future Directions in Network Architecture (FDNA) Workshop, a one day workshop held in conjunction with the ACM Sigcomm 2003, provided a forum for participants to predict and consider the architectural underpinnings of future networks and the evolving Internet. The workshop was very well attended, attracting over eighty participants. A total of 48 papers were submitted to the workshop. Joint submission to the workshop and the general Sigcomm 2003 conference was permitted, and roughly half of the papers were dual submissions. Of these submissions, nine full papers and six short talks were selected for presentation. Speakers of the full papers gave 20-25 minute talks, with 5-10 minutes for questions. Short talk speakers were allotted 10 minutes for their talks with 5 minutes for questions. The presented full papers are published in the Sigcomm 2003 consolidated workshop proceedings, available from the ACM Digital Library. Workshop Purpose The purpose of the workshop was to convene researchers interested in the future of network architecture. The architecture of a network speci es the high level principles and structures that guide its design, especially the engineering of protocols and
