The future internet.pdf

The core of this program will be a platform that implements and integrates new generic but fundamental capabilities of the Future Internet,

This core platform will be based on integration of already existing research results developed over the past few years,

using the properties of the core Future Internet platform. Examples of these use cases are a smarter electricity grid, a more efficient international logistics chain

The very success of the Internet is now creating obstacles to the future innovation of both the networking technology that lies at the Internet's core and the services that use it.

The evolution of DSL access architecture has shown in the past that pushing IP routing and other functions from the core to the edge of the network results in sustainable network infrastructure.

The core part of EPS called Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is extended continuously with new features in Release 10 and 11.

Due to the collateral effects of this change a convergence procedure started to introduce IP-based transport technology in the core and backhaul network:

Release 5 (2003) introduced the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core network functions for provision of IP services over the PS domain,

the Evolved Packet Core (EPC. Compared to four main GPRS PS domain entities of Release 6,

and three main functional entities in the core, i e. the Mobility Management Entity (MME), the Serving GW (S-GW) and the Packet data Network GW (PDN GW).

Towards Scalable Future Internet Mobility 41 entities in the same residential/enterprise IP network without the user plane traversing the core network entities.

LTE is linked to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in the 3gpp system evolution, and in EPC, the main packet switched core network functional entities are still remaining centralized,

keeping user IP traffic anchored. There are several schemes to eliminate the residual centralization and further extend 3gpp. 3. 2 Ultra Flat Architecture One of the most important schemes aiming to further extend 3gpp standards is the Ultra Flat Architecture (UFA) 16 20.

with the exception of certain control functions still provided by the core. UFA represents the ultimate step toward flattening IP-based core networks

e g.,, the EPC in 3gpp. The objective of UFA design is to distribute core functions into single nodes at the edge of the network, e g.,

, the base stations. The intelligent nodes at the edge of the network are called UFA gateways.

to reduce the number of HIP Base Exchanges in the access and core network, and to enable delegation of HIP-level signaling of the MN by the UFA GWS.

but still remain in the core network. A good example is the Global HA to HA protocol 34

DIMA (Distributed IP Mobility Approach) 35 can also be considered as a core-level scheme by allowing the distribution of MIP Home Agent (the normally isolated central server) to many and less powerful interworking servers called Mobility

Core network nodes are mainly simple IP routers. The scheme applies DHT and Loc/ID separation:

, by using Hi3 50 for core-level distribution of HIP signaling plane) are also feasible. 5 Conclusion Flat architectures infer high scalability

and IP-enabled radio base station (BS) entities are connected directly to the IP core infrastructure.

due to lack of core controller entities base stations are managed no more centrally; hence failure diagnostics and recovery must be handled in a fully distributed and automated way.

Since all the BSS are connected directly to the IP core network, hiding mobility events from the IP layer is much harder.

by replacing a plethora of proprietary hardware and software platforms with generic solutions supporting standardised development and deployment stacks.

and Architecture Design Project for New Generation Network 3 argue that the importance of wireless access networks requires a more fundamental redesign of the core Internet Protocols themselves.

The core contribution of this paper is the distillation of an initial model for RWI based on an analysis of these state of art architectures and an understanding of the challenges.

An identification of a core set of functions and underlying information models, operations and interactions that these architecture have in common.

The Cognitive Enablers represent the core of the Cognitive Framework and are in charge of providing the Future Internet control and management functionalities.

Mobile Terminals, Base Stations, Backhaul network entities, Core network entities. The selection and the mapping of the Cognitive Framework functionalities in the network entities is a critical task

Core Network entities. There not exist a unique mapping between the proposed conceptual framework over an existing telecommunication network.

The Metadata Handling and the Elaboration functionalities (and in particular, the Cognitive Enablers which are the core of the proposed architecture) are independent of the peculiarities of the surrounding Resources, Actors and Applications.

Mobile Terminals, Base Station, Backhaul network entities, Core network entities: the most appropriate network entities for hosting the Cognitive Managers have to be selected environment by environment.

which are the core of the Cognitive Managers, can potentially benefit from information coming from all layers of all networks

Also can be created other kinds of classification, such as hardware, software and network, among others. Some one of them (not all) can be used as resources in others relevant literature.

The benefits for the use of the propositional logic for network formalization is the implementation facility in software and hardware.

However, the protocol implementation should not impact hardware offloading of segmentation and check-summing. One reason that MPTCP uses TCP-Options for signalling (rather than the payload) is that it should simplify offloading by network cards that support MPTCP,

For example, routing table memory of core Internet routers can be considered a public good that retail ISPS have an incentive to over-consume by performing prefix de-aggregation with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP.

One challenge for the technologists designing new hardware, software systems, and platforms, however, is to be aware that technology is not value-free,

For example, it must be assumed that the core routers forward packets at line-speeds of tens of Gigabits per second

In another dimension, the rendezvous system is split into common rendezvous core and scope-specific implementations of scope home nodes that implement the functionality for a set of scopes.

This pub/sub primitive is the only functionality implemented by the rendezvous core. We refer to our work in 5 for a detailed description of the rendezvous security mechanisms.

When a cached result cannot be found in the rendezvous core, the subscription reaches the scope,

and translators to and from the core formal models should be devised and migrated to the selected development environments.

Two valuable migration activities have been carried out by building contacts with core business units. First, in the trail of the successful analysis of Google's SAML-based SSO, an internal project has been run to migrate AVANTSSAR results within SAP Netweaver Security

FIA projects like RESERVOIR or VISION are conducting research on core technological foundations of the cloud-of-clouds such as federation technologies, interoperability standards or placement policies for virtual images or data

Many of these developments can be expected to be transferred into the Future Internet Core Platform project that will launch in 2011.

Another source of failure stems from the fact that large-scale computing clouds are built often using low-cost commodity hardware that fails (relatively) often.

A more practical solution is to use Trusted Computing to verify correct policy enforcement 6. Trusted computing instantiation as proposed by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) uses secure hardware to allow a stakeholder

which monitors and informs the user on the compliance with a previously agreed privacy policy.

it monitors all the events related to the usage of the collected data. These event notifications are handled by the obligation engine

What should motivate the data collectors/processors to implement such technology? Actually, in many cases, their business model relies on the as-less-restricted-aspossible use of private data.

it notably requires a high level of trust in the data collector/processor. We presented some initial thoughts about how this problem can be mitigated through the usage of a tamper proof implementation of the architecture.

It provides a core infrastructure, and also a playground for future discoveries and innovations, combining research with experimentation.

which allows regulating system resources such as CPU usage and memory, and provides also a monitoring tool, Ganglia, that measures network metrics, such as round trip time and other statistics,

and using Xen server technology to regulate CPU usage. During this scenario the adaptive admission control and resource allocation algorithm is tested against network metrics, like round trip time and throughput.

so that resource like CPU usage and network throughput get high values. During the setup, the researcher wants to test http proxy software written in C programming language that implements an admission algorithm.

Additionally the algorithm should be able to start and stop the work load generators on demand. 3 Technical Environment, Testbed Implementation and Deployment From the requirements of the use case,

The NECM of the Wimax BS constantly monitors network device statistics (e g.,, UL/DL used capacity, TCP/UDP parameters, service flows),

The very success of the Internet is creating obstacles to the future innovation of both the networking technology that lies at the Internet's core and the services that use it.

Furthermore, the diversity of services as well as the underlying hardware and software resources comprise management issues highly challenging, meaning that currently,

a diversity in terms of hardware resources leads to a diversity of management tools (distinguished per vendor).

Among the core drivers for the FI are increased reliability, enhanced services, more flexibility, and simplified operation.

which in the core-network segment are mostly based on optical transmission technology, but also in the access segments gradual migration to optical technologies occurs.

The Cloud technologies are emerging as a new provisioning model 2. Cloud stands for ondemand access to IT hardware or software resources over the Internet.

It provides means to continuously monitor what the effect of scaling will be on response time performance, quality of data security, cost aspect, feasibility, etc.

+In anycast services the SML provides just a description of the required IT resources (e g. in terms of amount of CPU),

The ability to trade IT-services as an economic good is seen as a core feature of the Internet of Services.

Furthermore, we propose an SLA management framework that can become a core element for managing SLAS in the future Internet.

The service paradigm is a core principle for the Future Internet which supports integration, interrelation and inter-working of its architectural elements.

We propose an SLA management framework that offers a core element for managing SLAS in the future Internet.

On the highest level, we distinguish the Framework Core, Service Managers (infrastructure and software), deployed Service Instances with their Manageability Agents and Monitoring Event Channels.

The Framework Core encapsulates all functionality related to SLA management, business management, and the evaluation of service setups.

The Internet of Services is seen as a core component of the Future Internet: The Future Internet is polymorphic infrastructure,

The use of services as the core abstraction for constructing Linked Data applications is therefore more generally applicable than that of current data integration oriented mashup solutions.

Second, the development of advanced networking technologies in the access and core parts, with Qos assurance is seen.

and MDC offers an efficient encoding for applications where content needs to be transmitted to many non-homogeneous clients with different decoding and display capabilities.

and this process 398 Q. Zhang and E. Izquierdo took only a few seconds on a PC with Pentium D CPU 3. 40ghz and 2. 00gb of RAM.

Innovation lies at the core of smart enterprises and includes not only products, services and processes but also the organizational model and full set of relations that comprise the enterprise's value network.
