Summary

What is Future Internet? Need to rethink the fundamental assumptions and design decisions

underlying its current architecture Two principal ways in which to evolve or change a system

– Evolutionary approach (Incremental): a system is moved from one state to another with incremental patches

– Revolutionary approach (Clean-slate): the system is redesigned from scratch to offer improved abstractions and/or performance, while providing similar functionality based on new core principles

Future Internet?– Clean Slate design of the Internet’s architecture to satisfy the growing

demands

– Management issues of Future Internet also need to be considered from the stage of design

Research Goal for Future Internet– Performing research for Future Internet and designing new network

architectures

– Building an experimental facility

4WARD’s Research Goal Overcomes current Internet architectural impasse through

a set of radical architectural approaches built on mobile and wireless background

Improve ability to design interoperable and complementary families of network architecture

Enable the co-existence of multiple networks on common platforms

Enhance the utility of networks by making them self-managing

Increase robustness and efficiency of networks by leveraging diversity

Improve application support by a new information-centric paradigm

- 9 - DPNM

4WARD’s Strategic Objective By creating a family of dependable and interoperable

networks providing direct and ubiquitous access to information– Increase the competitiveness of the European networking industry– Improve the quality of life for European citizens

Goal– Make the development of networks and networked applications

faster and easier, leading to both more advanced and more affordable communication services

- 10 - DPNM

Key Issues Interoperability

– A mew approach to a multitude of networks– Create a framework for many networks to bloom as part of a

family of interoperable networks that can coexist and complement each other

Self-Management– Have a ‘default-on’ management entity, which is an inseparable

part of the network itself– Capable of adjusting itself to difference network sizes,

configurations, and external conditions Active Network Path

– Consider a path as an active part of the network that controls itself and provides customized transport services

Information-Centric– Build a network as a network of information and services where

services and information are mobile and distributed

- 11 - DPNM

Technical Approach (1) Combine

– Innovations needed to improve the operation of any single network architecture

– Multiple different and specialized network architecture

Work– On innovations overcoming the shortcomings of current communi

cation networks (Internet)– In a framework that allows the coexistence, interoperability, and c

omplementarity of several network architecture– In an integrated fashion, avoiding pitfalls like the current Internet’s

‘patch on a patch’ approach

- 12 - DPNM

Technical Approach (2) Structured into 6 work packages

– 3 packages: consider innovations for a single network architecture– 1 package: study the use of virtualization to allow multiple

networking architectures to coexist on the same infrastructure– 1 package: Look at the design and development of interoperable

architectures– 1 package: Ensure that all envisaged developments take proper

account of essential non-technical issues

WP1: BIRD Business Innovation, Regulation and Dissemination To understand and assess both how new technology may

foster new usages and business models as well as how new usages and societal trends may require new or enhanced technologies

To investigate implications of policy and governance on networking technologies (including regulation) and vice versa

WP4: INM In Network Management Evaluate and demonstrate the INM approach to embedded autonomic self-

management for selected scenarios Providing abstractions and a framework for a self-organizing management

plane Design and implement a thin pervasive self-organizing network management

plane – provide access to and communication between local self-management functions

embedded in the network – organize itself within a given network and adapts to dynamic changes of network

topology and structure Develop registration and access mechanisms for embedded self-descriptive

management functions provided by participating nodes within the management plane

Define a scheme, strategies, and protocols for collaborative monitoring, self-optimizing, and self-healing

Investigate search engine technologies for retrieval of information from an information base that is unstructured, incomplete, timed out and/or faulty

Apply the in-network management approach to virtual networks and a network of information investigated in WP3 and WP6
