An Architecture For Mobility Support In A Next Generation Internet

The current internetworking architecture presents some limitations to naturally support mobility, security and multi-homing. Among the limitations, the IP semantic overload seems to be a primary issue to be considered. In this paper we present a next generation internetworking architecture to overcome the IP semantic overload by introducing an identity layer located between the network and transport layers. This new layer provides a stable cryptographic identifier for end-hosts and seamlessly allows the deployment of new services, such as mobility, multi-homing and security. A prototype was implemented and evaluated considering some mobility scenarios, including intra-domain, inter-domain and simultaneous node mobility. © 2008 IEEE.818825Jain, R., Internet 3.0: Ten Problems with Current Internet Architecture and Solutions for the Next Generation (2006) Military Communications Conference, 2006.
