The End to End Principle
The devices that are communicating should be the endpoints of the communication with no external input. The Internet serves as a medium to carry traffic between them but makes no changes the data involved. Therefore the transmitting devices control every aspect of the transmission, allowing security (through encryption) and the detection of errors, which maintains the integrity of transmitted data.
Using this principle allows the Internet to easily grow because there is no direct control over the number of endpoints.
