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

提案编号：0626690PI: Tilman wol机构：University of Massachusetts amherst标题：NeTS-FIND：网络架构中以服务为中心的端到端抽象下一代网络架构是由灵活性需求控制的。异构的终端系统、新颖的通信抽象以及安全性和可管理性方面的挑战要求网络提供广泛的服务，这些服务超出了当今Internet的简单存储和转发功能。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。通信和处理的显式分离允许组合各种信息传输模式，从而扩展网络的功能，以满足下一代的挑战。目标是开发基于信息传输而不是发送数据过程的通信抽象。处理数据表示、传输和信息存储是由路由器上实现的服务来完成的。该项目的目标和预期结果是：首先，我们开发并原型化满足下一代网络架构需求的合适抽象；其次，我们探讨了如何通过终端系统指定服务，将其映射到网络内的资源，并在其运行期间进行控制；第三，我们应用提出的抽象来探索超越存储转发网络的新型网络范式。我们还寻求将在这个项目中形成的想法与开发下一代互联网的其他努力相结合，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.
