Manageability of Future Internet
Technical Problems of the Internet (1/2)
 Fundamental design principles of the current Internet
 Collaboration
 Trust
 Use of intelligence at the edges to enable the core to be simple
 Hard to map the current demands of users to services and
resources that the network can offer (different domains)
 Lack of security
 Lack of mobility support
 Interaction problems between the different layers
(4)
Manageability of Future Internet
Technical Problems of the Internet (2/2)
No guarantee on QoS – best effort service
Very difficult to manage due to explosive growth
in # of devices & network traffic amount
There is no single standard for representing
information that can be shared among
heterogeneous applications and information
sources
(5)
Manageability of Future Internet
Business Problems of the Internet
 Each vendor uses different programming languages and
models
 Difficult to integrate data from devices from multiple vendors
 It is becoming increasingly hard to make a profit
 Unless the future network architecture takes competition and
economic incentive, it is doomed to failure
 New architecture has to be based on a sound economic
model, not just a good technical one
(6)

Manageability of Future Internet
Motivation for Future Internet
 Need to resolve the challenges facing today’s Internet by rethinking the
fundamental assumptions and design decisions underlying its current
architecture
 Three approaches
1. Incremental (non-evolutionary): a system is move from one state
to another with incremental patches; new ideas that are not
compatible with the original design are not allowed
2. Incremental (evolutionary): same as above, except new ideas that
are not compatible with the original design are allowed
3. Clean-slate (revolutionary): redesigned from scratch to offer
improved abstractions and/or performance, while providing similar
functionality based on new core principles
(8)
Manageability of Future Internet
What is Future Internet?
 Next Generation Network (NGN)?
 a packet-based network to support the transfer of mixed traffic types
such as voice, video, and data and to integrate services offered by
traditional networks and new innovative IP into a single platform
 Internet designed in accordance with either of the two incremental
approaches
 Future Internet?
 Clean Slate design of the Internet’s architecture to satisfy the
growing demands
 Management issues of Future Internet also need to be considered
from the stage of design
 Research Goal for Future Internet
 Performing research for Future Internet and designing new network
architectures
 Building an experimental facility

Management interface should contain as little
protocol-specific information as possible
Complexities of protocols should be masked
from management

 A generic abstraction of network entities (protocols &
devices) for management purpose
 A set of atomic management operations to work upon
the abstraction
 A way to translate high-level management objectives
to low-level operations
