NeTS-NOSS: Collaborative Research: Transient Network Architecture

提案号：0627067PI: Robert KahnInstitution：国家研究计划公司（CNRI）提案号：0626380PI: Chaouki AbdallahInstitution：新墨西哥大学标题：NeTS-FIND：瞬变网络架构摘要当前的互联网实现是基于位置和关联感知连接的，这给试图在这种环境中运行的新型设备和服务带来了不必要的负担。缺省情况下，暂态通信和ad-hoc结构被排除，漫游时主动关联和重新关联通常是缓慢和复杂的。这被称为瞬时网络体系结构。该项目将开发基于持久识别抽象的异构网络体系结构的基本概念，这些抽象在任何时间点都映射到它们当前的实现、位置和网络通信所需的其他属性。架构的关键概念将被原型化和演示。网络上的每个资源都被抽象为数字对象，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标识符，并作为Handle system的演进。然后，这些资源能够聚集到影响区域中，这些影响区域是定义自己的通信协议、网络实现架构和持久标识符网络实现的网络社区。这些区域根据持久标识符解析路由传出和传入流量，必要时根据自己的本地标识路由本地流量。这允许整个体系结构在实现的较低级别执行广泛的实现级更改时保持寻址和通信互连性。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.
