We are pleased to present the Proceedings of the 2009 Workshop on Re-Architecting the Internet (ReArch'09), which is held in conjunction with 5th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (CoNEXT). The program of ReArch features technical papers that present ideas of new clean-slate Internet architectures, improvements to current Internet protocols, and new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture.
This year's number and quality of paper submission was high, and it was a difficult task for the members of the technical program committee to select papers for publication. Continuing the tradition of the past ReArch workshop, the selection process was rigorous and very competitive. Of 48 valid papers that were submitted to the workshop, 13 papers were accepted for publication and, which corresponds to a 27.1% acceptance rate. We hope that the selected papers spark the interest of workshop attendees and broaden the knowledge of the community in existing and new areas.

A variety of proposals call for a new Internet architecture focused on retrieving content by name, but it has not been clear that any of these approaches are general enough to support Internet applications like real-time streaming or email. We present a ...
Securing web content
Security in the WWW architecture is based on authenticating the source server and securing the data during transport without considering the content itself. The traditional assumption is that a page is as secure as the server hosting it. However, modern ...
Classifying network complexity
Growing complexity in the Internet is the subject of many debates. While there is extensive research on complexity in some specific areas such as graph theory or software design, the complexity of a real life network is not very well defined or ...
IP version 10.0: a strawman design beyond IPv6
After nearly14 years since the first version of IPv6 was defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), there is still just a minimal amount of native IPv6 deployment in today's Internet. Clearly, the evolution of IPv6 since its initial roots as ...
Discrimination, liberty, and innovation: some thoughts on the invariable trade-offs of normative purposes and technical means in the internet
The Internet has been a loose federation of networks allowing a variety of local discriminations to persist, in order to set off the conceptual problems of moving vital networking functions into the end hosts. And yet, those discriminations have been ...
mPlane: an architecture for scalable fault localization
Customers are increasingly demanding service-level guarantees from ISPs. Unfortunately, ISPs today have limited ability to measure and monitor their own networks. ISPs use active probes for monitoring network health and use tomographic approaches to ...

We present NetServ, an extensible architecture for core network services for the next generation Internet. The functions and resources available on a network node are broken up into small and reusable building blocks. A new core network service is ...
HAIR: hierarchical architecture for internet routing
In the light of recent interest in re-designing the Internet, we introduce HAIR, a routing architecture that tackles the problem of routing table growth, restricts the visibility of routing updates, and inherently supports traffic engineering, mobility, ...
Understanding incentives for prefix aggregation in BGP
Over the last few years, a significant amount of the effort of the Future Internet architecture is devoted in order to improve the scalability of the next generation routing architecture. In this paper, we study providers' incentives to perform prefix ...
LANES: an inter-domain data-oriented routing architecture
Data-oriented networking has attracted research recently, but the efficiency of the state-of-the-art solutions can still be improved. Our work towards this goal is set in a clean-slate architecture consisting of modular rendezvous, routing, and ...
Co-design patterns for embedded network management
Designing and operating large-scale management systems has become extremely challenging due to the growing complexity of network technologies and networked service infrastructures. Both knowledge and functionality for performing management tasks are ...
An architecture for network management
As is becoming increasingly understood, in extending the Internet architecture into the future, network management is a key challenge. [4], [25] The current approach has been to provide a set of weakly integrated tools to network managers of each ...
Shared versus separate networks: the impact of reprovisioning
As networks improve and new services emerge, questions arise that affect service deployments and network choices. The Internet is arguably a successful example of a network shared by many services. However, combining heterogeneous services on the same ...
