Clean Slate/Visionary Internet

Evolutionary Internet

Motivations-- 30 years old internet architecture, host centric-- Not design to natively support mobility, security, QoS…-- Issues solved from overlay perspective; -- multiple approaches proposed to develop new Internet architectures: ICN, CCN, NDN…Idea: decouple content from access port; -- Still unsolved problems: scalability is typical; applicability to large range of applications

Objectives--Further validate innovative architectural approaches; -- Solve unsolved remaining issues; -- get closer to deployment, validate migration paths.

Novel Internet Architectures

ICT 5. Smart Networks and novel Internet Architectures (23 M€)

•Novel architectural and networking approaches to information delivery and access

•Key functionalities: •Security, trust, mobility and scalability (built-in)

•Impact:•Strengthen the EU datacom/telecom industry•Contribution to industrial strategies and roadmaps•Establish links with international initiatives•Contribution to large scale trials

•Type of Action:•Research and Innovation – Small projects

Motivations, technological building blocks for:

-- Flexibility in both optical and wireless networks, -- higher rates, access and core; -- application to novel usage scenarios (e.g. data centres connectivity, novel user driven scenarios..)-- New frequency bands and spectrum usages (both fiber and wireless)-- satellite role and contribution
