This project investigates the Next Generation Network Technology and Systems geared towards high-performance internetworking across heterogeneous networks. The proposed approach adopts an overarching architecture across the subnetwork boundaries while taking into account the the underlying technologies such as wireless, satellite, opti-cal, and electrical wireline networks. In particular, this project explores new networking protocols and programmable network elements for enhancing end-to-end performance, providing flexible programmability, and achieving intelligent network control and man-agement. We will investigate the following four key research topics: (1) design of seg-mented transport protocols, which can be aware of the underlying network technologies and be adaptive to various subnetwork domains; (2) design, simulation, and testing of intelligent programmable network elements (IPNEs), which are middle boxes that are lo-cated at the boundary of heterogeneous network domains to provide impedance matching between the diverse networks and to support segmented transport protocols; and (3) de-sign of intelligent network control and management (NC&M) system, which will conduct Observe-Analyze-Act to measure network status, analyze possible implications, and take proactive actions. This project will place special attentions to simulation studies of seg-mented transport protocols in heterogeneous networks, the functional design of IPNEs with programmable/adaptive features, and the development of NC&M system that works with IPNEs. By addressing these issues, this project will provide flexible protocols and programmable network elements for high-performance heterogeneous networks, and set a solid framework for the deployment of the next generation networking technologies and systems.

本项目研究面向异构网络间高性能互联的下一代网络技术和系统。 所提出的方法采用跨子网边界的总体架构，同时考虑到底层技术，如无线，卫星，光，和电气有线网络。 特别是，该项目探索新的网络协议和可编程网络元件，以增强端到端性能，提供灵活的可编程性，并实现智能网络控制和人工智能。 本文主要研究以下四个方面的问题：（1）设计能够感知网络底层技术、适应不同子网域的分段传输协议;（2）智能可编程网络元件（IPNE）的设计、仿真和测试，也就是中间的盒子位于异构网络域的边界，以提供不同网络之间的阻抗匹配，并支持分段传输协议;（3）智能网络控制与管理系统（NC M）的设计&，该系统通过观察-分析-行动（Observe-Analyze-Act）来测量网络状态，分析可能的影响，并采取主动行动。 本计画将着重于异构网路中分段传输协定之模拟研究、具有可程式化/自适应特性之IPNE之功能设计，以及与IPNE协同工作之NC M系统之开发。通过解决这些问题，该项目将为高性能异构网络提供灵活的协议和可编程的网元，并为下一代网络技术和系统的部署建立一个坚实的框架。
