IDNet: Beyond All-IP Network

Abstract

Recently, new network systems have begun to emerge (for instance, 5G, IoT, and ICN) that require capabilities beyond that provided by existing IP networking. To fulfill the requirements, some new networking technologies are being proposed. The promising approach of the new networking technology is to try to overcome the architectural limitations of IP networking by adopting an identifier (ID)-based networking concept in which communication objects are identified independently from a specific location and mechanism. However, we note that existing ID-based networking proposals only partially meet the requirements of emerging and future networks. This paper proposes a new ID-based networking architecture and mechanisms, named IDNet, to meet all of the requirements of emerging and future networks. IDNet is designed with four major functional blocks -routing, forwarding, mapping system, and application interface. For the proof of concept, we develop numeric models for IDNet and implement a prototype of IDNet.

Implementing multicast on id/locator separation network

“…We uses click modular router as platform [5]. iPlug/dSocket is implemented as user library and click element and id stack is being implemented as click elements.…”

“…We are implementing groupcast on id.net by using "click modular router" [5]. Click is a suitable platform to implement and test new concepts easily and rapidly.…”

“…In this section we introduce "id.net" which is an id/locator separation network architecture based on recursive domain structure [4] [5].…”

Predicting required licensed spectrum for the future considering big data growth

“…Re-farming of the current spectrum, especially the second-generation (2G) spectrum band, to long-term evolution (LTE) and LTE-advanced can be part of the solution for reducing the spectrum gap in the following years. Thus, the total spectrum allocation for one operator is the summation of all frequency bands allocated to that operator, as represented in (5).…”

Virtualized Testbed Development using Openstack

“…The innovative networking technology like IDNet is allowed to be configured and experimented based on this virtualized environment [1], [2]. Our physical network nodes can be configured to VM nodes and the physical connectivity can be mapped to virtual connectivity inside the Cloud environment.…”
