Reinveting the Internet is not easy. Researchers working on a federally supported effort to design a replacement recently had to go back to the drawing board. They now think the best way to do it is to try several "best ways" instead of searching for just one--and to invite help from social scientists rather than just self-described computer geeks. The new networking project, called the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI), is expected to lead to a next-generation network that can not only survive but support new tricks. However, the initial plan for GENI was believed by many to be moving too fast. As such, officials rechartered (and renamed) a research advisory panel for the project and the GENI Science Council became the Network Science and Engineering Council, or NetSE. The name change signals a focus on identifying the toughest questions in networking, not just building a new piece of hardware.
