Outline • What is Future Internet? • Research Roadmap of Future Internet • 4WARD • Overview • Research Goal • Key Issues • Work Packages • 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 – Overview (1) • Architecture and Design for the Future Internet • A project of the European Union in the 7th framework program and develops methods, concepts and architectures for networks of the future • Duration • Jan. 2008 ~ Dec. 2009 • Web Site • www.4ward-project.eu • Cost • Total cost: 23.245 M€ • EC contribution: 14.448 M€
4WARD – Overview (2) • Project coordinator • Henrik Abramowicz, Ericsson • Partners • 37 projects partners • Ericsson • Nokia Siemens Networks • Siemens Program and System Engineering SRL Brasov • Alcatel-Lucent • NEC Europe Ltd. • Deutsche Telekom AG • France Telecom • Telecom Italia S.p.A. • Telekomunikacja Polska S.A. • Portugal Telecom Inovacao • SA Telefonica • University: Paris 6, Berlin, Surrey, Basel, Bremen, Lancaster, Lisbon, etc. • SICS: Swedish Institute of Computer Science AB. • Etc.
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
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
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
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 communication networks (Internet) • In a framework that allows the coexistence, interoperability, and complementarity of several network architecture • In an integrated fashion, avoiding pitfalls like the current Internet’s ‘patch on a patch’ approach
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
Projects • 6 work packages
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 • Dissemination and External Collaboration
WP2: New APC • NewArchitectural Principles and Concepts
WP3: VNET • Network Virtualisation • Task 3.1: Virtualisation Architecture and Scenarios • Task 3.2: Virtualisation of Network Resources • Task 3.3: Provisioning of Virtual Networks and Virtualisation Management • Task 3.4: Evaluation • Joint Tasks with other work packages: • Task TC23: Joint Task with NewAPC • Task TC34: Joint Task with InNetMgmt • Task TC356: Joint Task with ForMux and NetInf
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
WP5: ForMux • Forwarding and Multiplexing for Generic Paths (ForMux) • Task 5.1: Path generalizations in a functional architecture • Task 5.2: Generic paths by cooperation and coding mechanisms • Task 5.3: Realizing a generic path by routing • Task 5.4: Interactions of multiple generic paths • Task 5.5: Mobility by generic path • Task 5.6: Evaluation in proof-of-concept testbeds • Task TC356: Joint Task with WP3(VNet) and WP6 (NetInf)
WP6: NetInf • Network of Information • Task 6-1: NetInf Architecture • Task 6-2: Information modeling • Task 6-3: Basic dissemination mechanisms and services • Task 6-4: Non-dissemination and delay-sensitive services • Task 6-5: NetInf evaluation • Task C46: Joint task of WP4 (InNetMgmt) and WP6 (NetInf) • Task C356: Joint task of WP3 (Vnet), WP5 (ForMux) and WP6 (NetInf)
Summary • Inherent integration of self-management • Increasing the amount of network features reliably available to end-user applications • Like mobility, QoS, security but also scalability, deploy-ability • Driving innovation and new business opportunities into the network layer • Defining a systems approach to the Future Internet • Drive the work from the mobile and wireless perspectives
