The 4D Network is an attempt to eliminate the need for Internet Protocol that we know today. Internet Protocol is an old system that has some vulnerability and inefficiency as more applications are added to it. A 4D Network would restructure how packets of information are handled by following the 4 network planes:
- Decision plane - creating a network configuration
- Dissemination plane - getting information and sending out decision plane output to routers
- Discovery plane - letting devices 'discover' their directly connected neighbors;
- Data plane - directing the forwarding of network traffic.
