The vision of a quantum internet is to enhance existing Internet
technology by enabling quantum communication between any two points
on Earth. To achieve this goal, a quantum network stack should be
built from the ground up to account for the fundamentally new
properties of quantum entanglement. The first quantum entanglement
networks have been realised, but there is no practical proposal for
how to organise, utilise, and manage such networks. In this document,
we attempt to lay down the framework and introduce some basic
architectural principles for a quantum internet. This is intended for
general guidance and general interest.  It is also intended to
provide a foundation for discussion between physicists and network
specialists. This document is a product of the Quantum Internet
Research Group (QIRG).
