Zusammenfassung

Ursprünglich war das Internet nicht als weltweite, universale Kommunikationsplattform geplant. Es hat sich vielmehr über vier Jahrzehnte zum aktuellen Stand hin entwickelt. Als Ergebnis dieser ungeplanten Entwicklung sind wir jetzt mit schlechter Skalierbarkeit, erhöhter Komplexität, fehlender Modularität und fehlender Flexibilität für zukünftige Dienste konfrontiert. In diesem Artikel behandeln die Autoren zwei ausgewählte Aspekte bezüglich Forschung für das zukünftige Internet:

  • skalierbareres Internet-Routing und

  • intelligente Applikationen.

Danach wird eine Reihe von Future Internet-Projekten vorgestellt; weiters wird gezeigt, welche Rolle deren Experimentalplattformen für das Future Internet-Design spielen.

Summary

From its inception, the Internet was not intended as the worldwide universal communication platform. It has developed over almost four decades to its current state. As a result of this unplanned evolution, we currently witness scalability problems, increased complexity, missing modularity as well as missing flexibility for emerging services. In this report we focus on two selected issues:

  • the changing routing paradigm and

  • edge-based intelligence.

We will then present a variety of projects on Future Internet and finally assess recently established experimental facilities and their role in the Future Internet design.
