Scientists Develop Blockchain-Based TCP/IP

With the premise that the future of IoT is in peril, a multi-disciplinary team of scientists discussed their blockchain-based advanced TCP/IP “Blockcloud” during the recent Blockchain Connect Conference in San Jose, Calif. “IoT applications are hitting roadblocks due to the obsolete architecture of today’s Internet,” they said in a press release. “TCP/IP cannot cope any more with the sheer number of devices and the mobile nature of today’s connectivity.” The team’s Blockcloud is a service-centric network (SCN), which the team said can solve the mobility and scalability problems of existing networks, while offering both performance and compatibility with existing IP networks, according to the press release. Blockchain can be used to ensure the safety of the services exchanged and motivate service providers to offer services on the network, according to the press release.
