Fundamentals of the Internet Collaboration Reflected in forwarding and routing Cooperation Reflected in trust among participants Endpoint-centric services (mail, FTP, even web) Reflected in E2E principle IP, full end-to-end reachability Are the Fundamentals Still Valid? • Reality in the Internet Today • Phishing, spam, viruses • There is no trust any more! • Current economics favor senders • Receivers are forced to carry the cost of unwanted traffic • Information-centric services • Do endpoints really matter? • Endpoint-centric services move towards information retrieval through, e.g., CDNs • IP with middle boxes & significant decline in trust in the Internet vs.
Observation: It's All About Information • Internet Tomorrow: • Proliferation of dissemination & retrieval services, e.g., • context-aware services & sensors • aggregated news delivery • augmented real life • Personal information tenfold in the next ten years (IBM, 2008) • Increase of personalized video services • e.g., YouTube, BBC iPlayer • Vision recognized by different initiatives & individuals • Internet of Things, Van Jacobson, D. Reed • Lack of interworking of silo solutions will slow innovation and development speed • Internet Today: • In 2006, the amount of digital information created was 1.288 X 10^18 bits • 99% of Internet traffic is information dissemination & retrieval (Van Jacobson) • HTTP proxying, CDNs, video streaming, … • Akamai’s CDN accounts for 15% of traffic • Between 2001 and 2010, information will increase 1million times from 1 petabyte (10^15) to 1 zettabyte (10^21) • Social networking is information-centric • Most solutions exist in silos • overlays over IP map information networksonto endpointnetworks
Hypothesis: Increased Information Requires Information-centric Network Approaches Application developers care about information concepts • Creation of information topologies of various kinds -> Endpoint-centric networking structures are inadequate • Topological network changes too slow in timescale • Topological network boundaries too restrictive • Topological network boundaries often not aligned with information topologies • Overlaying possible but restricted in (developer) scalability -> If it is all about information, why not route on information?
Why not? • Why not route on information?
Main Design Principles • Information is multi-hierarchically organised • Information semantics are constructed as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) • Information scoping • Mechanisms are provided that allow for limiting reachability of information to parties • Scoped information neutrality • Within each information scope, data is only delivered based on a given (rendezvous) identifier. • The architecture is receiver-driven • No entity shall be delivered data unless it has agreed to receive those beforehand. Information reachability/ scoping Information Hierarchies Communication Model
Information Concepts • Information • Smallest something • Information collections • Sets of semantically similar information • Information networks • Sets of information under some common governance • Information producer • Entity publishing information to a particular network • Information consumer • Entity subscribing to information in a particular network
Architectural processes • Rendezvous • The process of resolving higher level identifiers to lower level identifiers within a given scope. • Three simple cases: link-local, intra-domain, inter-domain • Topology management and formation • Management of data delivery topologies and forwarding graphs • Forwarding • Data delivery within a single administrative domain or across multiple domains. • Temporal forwarding identifiers for each publisher and subscriber are derived via the rendezvous and topology management processes • Various routing and forwarding protocols can be used, for example a new protocol replacing IP or IP-based overlays

Service Model and API We have considered four different classes of network services • A low-level page model that exposes network forwarding and rendezvous/topology formation functions • A mid-level memory object model • Memory pages are mapped to publications • A mid-level channel model • Various high-level service models including shared state and document models Higher-level APIs Channel API Memory Object API Low-level page API
Node Architecture: Component Wheel • Components may be decoupled in space, time, and context • Layerless protocol suite • Applications may insert or request new components to the wheel at runtime • Implemented as helper functions • The components are attached to the local blackboard (BB) • Components are attached to the local blackboard, sharing publications, state • Pub/sub is used to signal changes to blackboard state
