This project is aimed at the design and experimental validation of a comprehensive clean-slate future Internet architecture. The proposed MobilityFirst architecture is motivated by the ongoing paradigm shift of Internet usage from today?s fixed PC/host (client)?server model to emerging mobile data services and pervasive computing applications. The major design goals of the architecture are: mobility as the norm with dynamic host and network mobility at scale; robustness with respect to intrinsic properties of the wireless medium; trustworthiness in the form of enhanced security and privacy; usability features such as support for context-aware services, evolvability, manageability and economic viability. The key components of the MobilityFirst network design are: (1) separation of naming and addressing, implemented via a fast global dynamic name resolution service; (2) self-certifying public key network addresses to support strong authentication and security; (3) generalized delay-tolerant routing with in-network storage for packets in transit; (4) flat-label internetwork routing with public key addresses; (5) hop-by-hop transport protocols operating over segments rather than an end-to-end path; (6) a separate network management plane that provides enhanced visibility; (7) optional privacy features for user and location data; and (8) an integrated computing and storage layer to support programmability. The project?s scope includes architectural design, validation of key protocol components, testbed prototyping of the MobilityFirst architecture as a whole, and real-world protocol deployment on the GENI experimental infrastructure. The results of this project will provide architectural guidance for cellular-Internet convergence, and are expected to influence future technical standards in the networking industry.

这个项目的目的是设计和实验验证一个全面的未来互联网架构。拟议的MobilityFirst架构的动机是互联网使用模式正在从今天的S固定PC/主机(客户端)服务器模式向新兴的移动数据服务和普适计算应用转变。该体系结构的主要设计目标是：移动性作为标准，具有规模化的动态主机和网络移动性；相对于无线介质的固有属性的健壮性；以增强的安全性和隐私的形式实现的可信性；支持情景感知服务、可演化性、可管理性和经济可行性等可用性功能。移动性的关键组件第一个网络设计是：(1)命名和寻址分离，通过快速的全球动态名称解析服务实现；(2)自我认证公钥网络地址，以支持强认证和安全性；(3)对传输中的分组具有网内存储的通用延迟容忍路由；(4)具有公钥地址的平面标签网间路由；(5)在网段上运行的逐跳传输协议，而不是端到端路径；(6)提供增强可见性的单独的网络管理平面；(7)用户和位置数据的可选隐私特征；以及(8)支持可编程性的集成计算和存储层。S项目的范围包括架构设计、关键协议组件的验证、作为整体的MobilityFirst架构的试验台原型，以及在Geni实验基础设施上的真实世界协议部署。该项目的成果将为蜂窝-互联网融合提供架构指导，并有望影响网络行业未来的技术标准。
