ITR: Collaborative Research: Scalable Services for the Global Network

新的应用程序的出现促进了一些尝试，以增加功能的最低限度的互联网核心。然而，对互联网的增强采用要么缓慢，要么完全失败，要么仅限于特殊用途的专用网络。这种失败的主要原因是可扩展性和可伸缩性：首先，IP网络的设计不是为了在互联网级别上进行扩展。其次，新的网络层服务的建议往往需要大量的状态信息被管理在核心网络基础设施，从而引入可扩展性瓶颈，加剧了现有的可扩展性问题的不断增长的互联网。 今天，在互联网上开发和部署高级服务已经走到了一个十字路口：增加新服务的努力很快就遇到了可扩展性问题，但新服务的需求非常迫切，必须迅速和广泛地部署。 研究目标是为互联网基础设施的三个基本组成部分（信息通信、复制和存储）中的每一个开发真正可扩展的服务。采取一种新的统一方法来解决可扩展性和复杂网络服务的看似冲突的要求，研究人员建议开发： 1.可扩展的性能可预测通信：通过可扩展的基于边缘的架构为服务质量通信奠定新的基础。 2.可扩展的多播有效的数据传播：一个自组织的多播基础设施可扩展到许多自发形成的群体。 3.下一代信息服务的可扩展存储：一种基础设施，使信息更接近用户，并支持可扩展的第三方信息存储服务。 4.可扩展服务的设计原则：在全球互联网中开发和部署可扩展服务的多方面方法，考虑经济模型，产业结构，理论和算法，工程和部署。 因此，这个项目提出了开发架构和方法，在全球互联网上部署可扩展的服务。这个项目的影响将是为21世纪世纪全球互联网的信息通信提供理论基础、基本架构和原型实现。该项目的一个组成部分是传播结果和渗透标准组织与该项目中开发的概念，以及创新的方法来教育未来互联网的下一代工程师。

The emergence of new applications has fostered a number of attempts to add functionalities to the minimalist Internet core. However, the adoption of enhancements to the Internet has either been slow, failed entirely, or limited to special-purpose private networks. The key reasons for this failure are extensibility and scalability: First, IP networks were not designed to be extensible at the internetworking level. Second, proposals for new network layer services often require that vast amounts of state information be managed in the core network infrastructure, thus, introducing scalability bottlenecks which exacerbate the existing scalability problem of the growing Internet. Today, the development and deployment of advanced services on the Internet has reached a crossroads: efforts to add new services have quickly encountered scalability problems, yet new services are in critical demand and must be rapidly and widely deployed. The research goal is to develop truly scalable services for each of the three fundamental components of the Internet's infrastructure: information communication, replication, and storage. Taking a new and unified approach to the seemingly conflicting requirements for scalability and sophisticated network services, the researchers propose to develop: 1. Scalable Performance-Predictable Communication: a new foundation for quality-of-service communication via a scalable edge-based architecture. 2. Scalable Multicast for Efficient Data Dissemination: a self-organizing multicast infrastructure scalable to many spontaneously-formed groups. 3. Scalable Storage for Next Generation Information Services: an infrastructure which brings informationcloser to users and enables scalable third-party information storage services. 4. Design Principles of Scalable Services: a multi-faceted approach for the development and deploymentof scalable services in the global Internet, under consideration of economic models, industrial structure,theories and algorithms, engineering, and deployment. Thus, this project proposes to develop architectures and methodologies for deploying scalable services in the global Internet. The impact of this project will be to provide the theoretical underpinnings, basic architecture, and a prototype implementation for the information communication of the global Internet of the 21st century. An integral part of this project is the dissemination of results and the infiltration of standard organizations with the concepts developed within this project, and innovative approaches to educate the next generation of engineers for the future Internet.
