First Contact:Can Switching to RINA save the Internet?
Kristjon Ciko, Michael Welzl · 2019
RINA is a new network architecture that has been found to have many benefits over the Internet in prior works. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of directly switching from the Internet to RINA “under the hood”, such that the user or application does not notice what happens. This does not involve tunneling, gateways, etc., but is meant to switch from native Internet to native RINA. We explain the theoretical number of messages and round-trips involved in such direct switch-over and evaluate its efficiency in a local testbed.
