FIND: Service-Centric End-to-End Abstractions in Network Architectures

提案编号：0626690 PI：Tilman WolfInstitution：马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学题目：NetS-FIND：网络架构中以服务为中心的端到端抽象摘要下一代网络架构受灵活性需求的支配。异构的终端系统、新颖的通信抽象以及安全性和可扩展性的挑战要求网络提供广泛的服务，这些服务超出了当今互联网的简单存储转发功能。该项目为网络中的信息传输和数据服务引入了新的抽象，以克服当前网络设计的限制。通信和处理的明确分离允许组成各种信息传输模式，这些模式扩展了网络的能力，以应对下一代挑战。目标是基于信息的传输而不是发送数据的过程来开发通信抽象。处理信息的数据表示、传输和存储由在路由器上实现的服务来执行。这个项目的目标和预期结果是：第一，我们开发和原型合适的抽象，满足下一代网络架构的需求;第二，我们探索如何服务可以指定的终端系统，映射到网络内的资源，并在其操作过程中进行控制;第三，我们提出的抽象，探索新的网络模式，超越存储转发网络。我们还寻求将该项目中提出的想法与其他努力相结合，以开发下一代互联网，从而增强整体影响。

Proposal Number: 0626690PI: Tilman WolfInstitution: University of Massachusetts AmherstTitle: NeTS-FIND: Service-Centric End-to-end Abstractions in Network ArchitecturesAbstractNext-generation network architectures are governed by the need for flexibility. Heterogeneous end-systems, novel communication abstractions, and security and manageability challenges require networks to provide a broad range of services that go beyond the simple store-and-forward capabilities of today's Internet. This project introduces new abstractions for information transfer and data services in the network to overcome the constraints of current network design. The explicit separation of communication and processing allows the composition of a variety of information transfer patterns that expand the capabilities of the network to meet its next-generation challenges. The goal is to develop communication abstractions based on the transfer of information rather than the process of sending data. Handling data representation, transfer, and storage of information is performed by services implemented on routers. The objectives and expected results of this project are: first, we develop and prototype suitable abstractions that meet the needs of next-generation network architectures; second, we explore how services can be specified by end-systems, mapped to resources inside the network, and controlled during their operation; third, we apply the proposed abstractions to explore novel networking paradigms that go beyond store-and-forward networking. We also seek to integrate the ideas developed in this project with other efforts to develop a next-generation Internet and thus enhance the overall impact.
