Infranet is a potential architecture for future networks that seeks to provide necessary services for application use, avoiding conflicting protocols and reducing redundancy. It is a top-down approach and can also refer to a system that allows people in censored areas to view uncensored information through steganography.
Infranet is one of the potential architectures for the Internet and all future networks based on packet transmission. This type of architecture seeks to reform the current Internet by approaching it from a different perspective. Rather than using available services to develop applications, Infranet seeks to answer the question of what services are needed and to provide those services for application use.
During the life of the internet, many changes and additions have been made to both the underlying structure and the services it provides. This has led to a great mix of protocol types and services that sometimes conflict with each other. In other cases, the protocols and services could be designed much more efficiently.
Infranet is a potential solution to these problems. Rather than the Internet existing as a set of protocols that exist and applications are built around them, Infranet would work by re-evaluating what services are needed and implementing those services. This would have the benefit of avoiding the complications of having conflicting protocols, as well as help reduce the amount of redundancy. It could also be used to remove all outdated protocols.
Infranet is classified as a top-down approach to global network design. A top-down approach is to break down a system into segments in order to gain a greater understanding of how the system works. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an organization that works to create standards for most of the protocols used in today’s Internet. This is a bottom-up approach, as several systems are integrated into a much larger and more complex system. This type of approach is often simpler, but it is also much less efficient than a top-down approach in many respects.
Infranet can also refer to a system that has been proposed that would allow people living in areas that lack uncensored access to information to view the uncensored web. This system would work by allowing the transfer of sensitive or prohibited information hidden within anodyne data. This is a type of steganography, which is the science of writing hidden messages within text segments. This method of information transfer would allow the Infranet to bypass known data filtering methods used by countries to censor information.
