“…During the 1970s and 1980s, several local area network (LAN) systems were in development and were marketed for Enterprises (e.g., IBM SNA [15] and DECnet [16]). However, these LANs were distinct enough in their technological approaches (e.g., PHY layer protocols) that they did not interoperate with each other [5].…”

There is considerable interest today in the use of blockchain technology to provide better visibility into shared information among a number of participants and systems arranged in a decentralized peer-to-peer topology. Several challenges in blockchain technology remain to be addressed, including the interoperability, survivability, and manageability of blockchain systems. Crucial to answering these challenges is the need to understand aspects of the Internet architecture that has made it scalable, resilient, and a commercial success as a global connectivity infrastructure. In this paper, we discuss a design philosophy for interoperable blockchain systems, using the design philosophy of the Internet architecture as the basis to identify key design principles. We recast some of the challenges faced in the design of the Internet architecture to that of the design of an interoperable blockchain architecture. We emphasize interoperability as a crucial requirement for the survivability and manageability of blockchain systems. The goal is to define an interoperable blockchain architecture, in which common components of the blockchain architecture can begin to be standardized, leading to lowering of development costs, better reusability, and higher degree of interoperability.

“…For instance, many Operating Systems (OS) provide di- [lo], the DECNET NSP interface in DEC operating systems [36], and the socket interface to TCPI IP protocols in most UNIX systems. A distributed application is implemented as a collection of sequential programs which communicate using the relevant networking system calls.…”

“…In order to control the complexity of networking software, and also to enable different machines in a network to run different networking software, a layered architecture is often used. There are many different layered architectures in use in proprietary, governmental, and international networks [20,19,6,14]. While the exact -choice of function for each layer differs in the various networks, the general -framework is always the same: each layer acts according to-a protocol that uses the services of the next lower layer, in order -to provide enhanced features.…”
