Abstract

The current Internet has revealed numerous shortcomings due to the limitations in its original design, and is being challenged by the user’s increasingly complicated requirements for efficient data distribution. To this end, a novel network paradigm namely SINET (smart identifier networking) is proposed, aiming to shift the communication pattern of the traditional IP networks from passive best-effort packet delivery to the active on-demand adaptation of network and service resources. In this way, SINET is able to provide agile, differentiated and customizable traffic steering and performance enhancement for customers of different scenarios with various service quality guaranteed. In this paper, we are going to summarize the main design principles and associated key mechanisms of SINET, and briefly introduce its research outcomes in several typical application scenes.
