Abstract

eXpressive Internet Architecture (XIA) [1] is an architecture that natively supports multiple communication types and allows networks to evolve their abstractions and functionality to accommodate new styles of communication over time. XIA embeds an elegant mechanism for handling unforeseen communication types for legacy routers.

In this demonstration, we show that XIA overcomes three key barriers in network evolution (outlined below) by (1) allowing end-hosts and applications to start using new communication types (e.g., service and content) before the network supports them, (2) ensuring that upgrading a subset of routers to support new functionalities immediately benefits applications, and (3) using the same mechanisms we employ for 1 and 2 to incrementally deploy XIA in IP networks.

XIA: an architecture for an evolvable and trustworthy internet
HotNets-X: Proceedings of the 10th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks

Motivated by limitations in today's host-based IP network architecture, recent studies have proposed clean-slate network architectures centered around alternative first-class principals, such as content, services, or users. However, much like the host-...
The evolution of layered protocol stacks leads to an hourglass-shaped architecture
SIGCOMM '11: Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2011 conference

The Internet protocol stack has a layered architecture that resembles an hourglass. The lower and higher layers tend to see frequent innovations, while the protocols at the waist of the hourglass appear to be "ossified". We propose EvoArch, an abstract ...
