NeTS-FIND: An Architecture for a Diversified Internet

本项目探讨了使虚拟化成为新Internet架构的核心组件的含义，其明确目标是鼓励端到端网络的多样性。该项目探讨了如何将虚拟化集成到互联网架构中，以及如何通过多个合作组织以大规模和足够高性能的方式交付虚拟化，从而使其在经济上具有吸引力。项目活动包括为多样化的互联网开发一个完整的体系结构，并对该体系结构的主要组件进行实验演示。该项目还通过开发和展示在这个多样化的互联网中运行的两个完整的端到端网络，探索如何有效地利用这些机制。多元化的互联网可创造一个更具竞争力的环境，令先进网络服务的创新得以蓬勃发展，从而对整个社会产生广泛的影响。

This project explores the implications of making virtualization a central component of a new Internet architecture, with the explicit objective of encouraging a diversity of end-to-end networks. The project explores how virtualization can be integrated into the Internet architecture and how it can be delivered, by multiple cooperating organizations, on a large scale and with sufficiently high performance to make it economically compelling. The project activities include development of a complete architecture for a diversified Internet and experimental demonstration of major components of that architecture.The project also explores how these mechanisms can be effectively used, by developing and demonstrating two complete end-to-end networks that operate within this diversified Internet. A diversified Internet has the potential to have a broad impact on society at large, by enabling a more competitive environment in which innovation on advanced network services can flourish.
