"Future Internet" is a worldwide hot topic. The Internet has become a critical infrastructure for business development and social interactions. However, the immense growth of the Internet has resulted in additional stresses on its architecture, resulting in a network difficult to monitor, understand, and manage due to its huge scale in terms of connected devices and actors (end users, content providers, equipment vendors, etc). This book presents and discusses the ongoing initiatives and experimental facilities for the creation of new Future Internet Architectures using alternative approaches like Clean Slate and Incremental improvements: It considers several possible internet network use scenarios that include seamless mobility, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, internet of things and new paradigms like content and user centric networks.
List of contents
Principles of Internet Architecture.- Evolution of Internet Architecture.- Limitations of Old Internet and Socio-Economic and Technological Drivers for a New Architecture.- New Architecture Requirements and Trends.- Scenarios of Evolution for a Future Internet.- New Approaches to Internet Architecture - "Case Studies".- Future Internet Foundations.- Technological Challenges and Opportunities.- Conclusions.
