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,

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.
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.

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