8 G-Lab Approach: Controlled Evolution Possible Future Network Evolution Current Internet Research optimal solution using clean slate approach Improve current network design and protocols with that solution in mind! Timeline 8

9 Virtualization of the Network The Future Internet will be an OPEN Internet of Services Application Operating System Virtual Layer How could a future open services network with quality of service support look like? Needed: new concepts of Virtualization, Security, Self-Management, Storage Network Servers Network Network Virtualization: Share infrastructure resources, comprising of IT and transport, and reduce costs while providing secure network services to diverse user applications and communities.

10 Thinning the Protocol Architecture Application Application Overlay Presentation Overlay adapted to underlying layers Increase efficiency and robustness Session Transport Network Supporting transport over any kind of networks Data Link Physical Heterogeneity of network technologies Interoperability between technologies 10

11 Thinning the Protocol Architecture Application Overlay & Mediation Presentation Session Transport Network Application Mediation Connectivity Data Link Physical 11

12 Thinning the Protocol Architecture Aim: Providing QoS/QoE in service delivery for high-demanding overlay-based applications by considering underlay topology and state Overlay requires monitoring information Network topology and state Underlay path properties Bandwidth, latency, jitter, loss NAT Underlay information obtained from: End-host measurements ISP feedback Third-party measurements Application Mediation Connectivity 12

13 Example: Internet routing? BGP table sizes seen at one router Quadratic or exponential growth (worst case) Bad!!! [Source: CIDR Report IPv4 13

14 Wouldn't IPv6 help us? [Source: IETF Meeting 14

15 Research Needs Future Internet Routing Scalability and robustness issues of a) network layer routing b) overlay / application layer routing Convergence between network layer routing and overlay routing Locater/identifier split (scalability) Mobility support Security / Integrity Layer independence supporting mobility, traffic engineering, and resilience Protocol Architecture Research Simplified architecture Stochastic scalability vs functional scalability Interconnecting virtualized networks 15

16 Research Needs New Transport Technologies Very high speed transport (100 Gigabit/s and higher) (Native) Ethernet transport Inter and intra network management Energy-efficient networks Speed adaptation New Access Technologies Very high speed access Resource scheduling Connecting sensor networks to internet 16

17 Research Needs Self-organization Multiple objective functions Social and bio-inspired networks Performance aspects Storage Application Operating System Virtual Layer Efficient Distribution of Content New paradigm of content distribution Evolving architecture of content distribution platform Network Servers Network 17

18 Network Architecture Virtualiziation Research Needs network components & resources limit of virtualization? Multi-network services Security Services Architecture Edge-based services Controlability Fairness End-to-End Quality Assurance QoE E2E control 18

19 Application-centric: Multi-Network Service Application Service Service Provider Data Instant Voice Transfer Messaging Internet Service Provider A Personal Communication Application Internet Service Multi-Network Presence Information Provider B Provider C Service Service Video Network Provider Wired PSTN UMTS WLAN 19
