FUTURE INTERNET ARCHITECTURES: DESIGN AND
DEPLOYMENT PERSPECTIVES
A Survey of the Research on
Future Internet Architectures
Jianli Pan, Subharthi Paul, and Raj Jain, Washington University
ABSTRACT
The current Internet, which was designed over 40 years ago, is facing unprecedented challenges in many aspects, especially in the commercial context. The emerging demands for security, mobility, content distribution, etc. are hard to be met by incremental changes through ad-hoc patches. New clean-slate architecture designs based on new design principles are expected to address these challenges. In this survey article, we investigate the key research topics in the area of future Internet architecture. Many ongoing research projects from
United States, the European Union, Japan,
China, and other places are introduced and discussed. We aim to draw an overall picture of the current research progress on the future
Internet architecture.

The Internet has evolved from an academic network to a broad commercial platform. It has become an integral and indispensable part of our daily life, economic operation, and society.
However, many technical and non-technical challenges have emerged during this process, which call for potential new Internet architectures. Technically, the current Internet was designed over 40 years ago with certain design principles. Its continuing success has been hindered by more and more sophisticated network attacks due to the lack of security embedded in the original architecture. Also, IP’s narrow waist means that the core architecture is hard to modify, and new functions have to be implemented through myopic and clumsy ad hoc patches on top of the existing architecture. Moreover, it has become extremely difficult to support the ever
