Instructors: Tanja Zseby
Length of the tutorial: Half day (3 hours)
Intended audience: Introductory to Intermediate
Background knowledge or skills required: none
Abstract
The Internet today is a complex agglomerate of protocols that inherits the grown legacies of decades of patchwork solutions. Network management costs explode. Security problems are more pressing than ever. At the same time application and user demands on the Internet are increasing with mobile technologies and media content on the rise, all the while the number of participating nodes is equally boosting.
As a direct consequence research programs have started worldwide to re-think traditional Internet design principles and to come up with new architectural concepts for the Future Internet. Additional programs in the US, Europe and Asia supplement theoretical research with federated large-scale facilities for experimental research.
The Future Internet Tutorial provides an overview of evolutionary and revolutionary (clean slate) Future Internet research directions and trends. It presents the Future Internet research initiatives around the world and the efforts to establish experimental facilities for FI research. The tutorial gives an introduction to Future Internet technologies that are currently under discussion. Among the approaches discussed are new addressing and routing concepts beyond IPv6, Network Virtualization, Functional Composition, Autonomic Communication and new network types.
