  • Hodson talks about China's advances in creating a next-generation Internet that's on a national level and on a larger scale than anything in the West. At the root of the problem are two major gaps in the architecture of the Internet, according to a report from the New England Complex Systems Institute, compiled in 2008 for the US Navy and released to the public this week. First up is the Internet's inability to block malicious traffic as a whole. While malware can rapidly replicate and distribute itself across the net, organizations can only respond to individual instances of online aggression. China is already coming up with better defenses. One of the most important aspects of its next-generation backbone is a security feature known as Source Address Validation Architecture.
