Special Issue on Future Internet Architectures
In the framework of SPICE project, Space Internetworking Center published a Special Issue on Future Internet Architectures in the Journal of Internet Engineering (JIE).
The Journal of Internet Engineering (JIE) aims at focused research on the architecture of next generation Internet, the future Internet protocol sets and their extensions, as well as the design properties of supportive middleware. The strategic and distinct aim of the journal places the Internet at the research core, targeting new engineering approaches, which will host naturally the evolutionary applications, as well as specific network architectures, protocols and devices.
The special issue on "Future Internet Architectures" includes articles on new protocols and mechanisms for the Future Internet. Strong emphasis is put on delay and disruption tolerant networking (DTN). Voyiatzis gives an overview on DTN implementation platforms, experimentation networks as well as applications. Vardalis et al. investigate the potential of DTN to save energy, which is important since mobile end systems have limited battery power and lifetime. Rodríguez-Fernández present and discuss an approach to interconnect communities in rather heterogeneous networks, e.g., IP, mobile ad-hoc and DTN networks. Other challenging networks are satellite-networks. The article of Rendon-Morakes
presents an algorithm to parametrize scheduling parameters to support Quality-of-Service in satellite networks. Finally, Dunaytsev et al., discuss traffic management approaches for Peer-to-Peer traffic, in particular to avoid excessive traffic between different network domains.
