提案编号：0627067PI：Robert Kahn机构：国家研究倡议公司(CNRI)提案编号：0626380PI：Chaouki Abdallah机构：新墨西哥大学标题：Nets-Find：瞬时网络体系结构摘要互联网的当前实现基于位置和关联感知连接，为试图在此环境中运行的新型设备和服务施加了不必要的负担。默认情况下，暂时通信和自组织结构被排除，并且在漫游时主动关联和重新关联通常是缓慢和复杂的。这被称为临时网络体系结构。该项目将根据在任何时间点映射到其当前实施、位置和网络通信所需的其他属性的持久确定的抽象来开发异类网络体系结构的基本概念。该体系结构的关键概念将被原型化并进行演示。网络上的每个资源被抽象为数字对象，并在使用P2P技术实现的分布式持久标识系统中被赋予唯一的标识符，并且作为句柄系统的发展。然后，这些资源能够将自己聚集到影响区域中，这些区域是网络社区，其定义了它们自己的通信协议、网络实现体系结构以及永久标识符网络的实现。如果需要，这些区域基于永久标识符路由传出和传入流量，并基于其自己的本地标识来路由本地流量。这使整个架构能够保持寻址和通信互连，同时在实施的较低级别执行广泛的实施级别更改。该体系结构采用面向数字版权管理(DRM)的设计，并将控制理论应用于资源协调。这项工作有可能定义未来的互联网架构。

Transient communications and ad-hoc structures are precluded by default, and active association and re-association is generally slow and complicated while roaming. This is referred to as a transient network architecture. This project will develop the basic concepts for a heterogeneous network architecture based on persistently identified abstractions which map, at any point in time, to their current implementation, location, and other attributes required for network communication. Key concepts of the architecture will be prototyped and demonstrated. Each resource on the network is abstracted as a digital object and given unique identifiers within a distributed persistent identification system implemented using p2p technologies and as an evolution of the Handle System. These resources are then able to aggregate themselves into Areas of Influence which are network communities that define their own communication protocols, network implementation architecture, and implementation of the persistent identifier network. These areas route outgoing and incoming traffic based on persistent identifier resolution and local traffic based on their own local identification if necessary. This allows the overall architecture to maintain addressing and communications inter-connectivity while extensive implementation-level changes, are performed at the lower levels of the implementation. The architecture has a digital rights management (DRM) oriented design, and applies control theory to resource coordination. The work has the potential to define a future internet architecture.
