Abstract
An architecture for data transmission that puts technological and administrative domains (compartments) in the role of the keeper of this shared information is described. Paths are established between communicating entities, basic functional blocks that reappear in different layers of the Internet. We explain how certain functions like routing, access control, and resource management are recurring in entities at all layers, and therefore allow an object oriented definition of entities and paths. Compartments and generic paths limit the scope within which state information needs to be kept consistent. Compartment layering is fundamentally different from the established ISO/OSI model and the chapter discusses several examples for the use of cooperation between more than the traditional two end points of a transmission.

Notes
- 1.
What used to be email is now Facebook, what used to be an MP3 file is now an HD video stream, all this with the size of an individual frame limited to the 1500 byte of the 1970s Ethernet.
- 2.
The MP option makes a different assumption of this backplane as being a switch.
- 3.
http redirects arguably have the same function. One might however think of a hierarchical (e.g., Top Level Domain-based) routing even in the Web.
- 4.
This distinction is helpful for a cleaner separation of forwarding and multiplexing from processing, see the discussion in Sect. 9.2.6.
