Flow-aware networking as an architecture for the IPv6 QoS Parallel Internet
Jerzy Domżał · 2013
The IPv6 QoS is one of the Parallel Internets proposed as a part of the IIP System researched and developed under the Future Internet Engineering Project. IIP System assumes that it is possible and reasonable to virtually divide current Internet into three Parallel Internets. In this way three architectures may co-exist over one physical topology. Three Parallel Internets have been defined under the Future Internet Engineering project: IPv6 QoS, CAN (Content Aware Network) and DSS (Data Stream Switching). The main goal of the IPv6 QoS Parallel Internet is to support applications which need QoS guarantees. In this paper, the FAN (Flow-Aware Networking) concept is proposed for a possible implementation to meet the requirements of the IPv6 QoS architecture. The main goals and assumptions of such implementation are presented. Moreover, the simulation results show the usefulness of using FAN in this Parallel Internet.
