WANTED: reference on the stupid network English (UK)

I refer to the principle that the Internet is a dumb or stupid network, with the intelligence at the edges or the ends of each connection. It is the design principle that keeps the internet open and keeps inovation on the internet rapid. It's something to do with a "universe of ends".

I just can't remember what this principle is called, or where I read about it. Links welcomed.

Sometimes when there's a lot going on in your head its nice to get it out on paper. Paper's too old fashioned so this programmer does it online. I'm 25 living in London and trying to develop an intelligent opinion about how the world should work. I'm not all there yet, so do help me out.
