Novel Internet Architectures

Clean Slate/ Visionary Internet Evolutionary Internet -

Motivations - 30 years old internet architecture, host centric - Not design to natively support mobility, security, QoS… - Issues solved from overlay perspective; - multiple approaches proposed to develop new Internet architectures: ICN, CCN, NDN…Idea: decouple content from access port; - Still unsolved problems: scalability is typical; applicability to large range of applications

-

Objectives -Further validate innovative architectural approaches; - Solve unsolved remaining issues; - get closer to deployment, validate migration paths.
