Current Internet
 The Internet plays a central and vital role in our
society
 Work and business, education, entertainment, social life, …
 Victim of its own success, suffering from ossification
 Innovation meets natural resistance (e.g. no IPv6, no mobile
IP, no inter-domain DiffServ, no inter-domain multicast, etc.)
 Services such as P2P, IPTV, emerging services, pose
new requirements on the underlying network
architecture
 Big growth in terms of the number of inter-connected
devices but slow growth in innovation and new
services

Key Changes in Internet - History
 Changes were possible when the Internet was still an
academic research network (i.e. until 1993 when the
WWW turned it to a commercial)
 Inter-network that underpins the “information
society”
 Key changes in that period were the following: 1982
DNS, 1983 TCP/IP instead of NCP, 1987 TCP
congestion control, 1991 BGP policy routing, 1991
SNMP
 No significant changes since then apart from MPLS
which has been deployed in addition to plain IP
 Research efforts towards the Future Internet:
evolutionary & cleaner-slate & clean-slate
approaches, changes, migration

Next Generation Networks Next (NGN)
ITU-T : 2004 - Present
“A Next generation network (NGN) is a packet-based
network which can provide services including
Telecommunication Services and able to make use of
multiple broadband, Quality of Service-enabled
transport technologies and in which service-related
functions are independent from underlying
transport-related technologies. It offers unrestricted
access by users to different service providers. It
supports generalized mobility which will allow
consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to
users.”

Internet & NGN
“No longer
fit for new
purposes” Some of the reasons:






Disappearance of the ‘End-host only’ concept ( i.e. edge
networks; new nodes : sensors, mobile devices )
Lack of in-system management (i.e. information, decision,
implementation – closed control loops for realising management
requirements)
Trustworthy User / Network / Service (i.e. end-host
protocols can and are altered  many security issues)
Best effort service delivery
No explicit media & content handling
Size & Costs:
• N X 109 connectivity points - status: reaching maturity and maybe
some limits
• N X105 services /applications - status: fast growing
• N X103 Exabyte's content - status: fast growing
• Cost structure: 80% (90%) of lifecycle costs are operational and
management costs - status: reaching crisis level

Ossification: reaching crisis level
• A lot of missing and interrelated features; missing enablers for
integration and orchestration of Nets, Services, Content, Storage
• Substantial barriers to innovation with novel services, networking
systems, architecture and technologies

How to change
Approach:
 Parallel and Interconnected Internets;
Progressive changes; “Cleaner” slate and
evolutionary
 Network of networks  system of coordinated
service networks
 Virtualization of resources (Networks, Services,
Content, Storage)
 Programmability
 Increased self-managebility as the means of
controlling the complexity and the lifecycle
costs

Future networks
•
•
ITU-T started pre-standardization activities
with identification of FNs requirements (FG FN) :
new social requirements (e.g., environment)
new application areas (e.g., IoT, cloud, smart grid)
new implementation technologies are found!
Introduction of new network architectures; we call this
Future Networks
• ITU is not R&D body. Direction is find by
analysing existing activities (Asia, EU, USA)
• Produced document Future Networks:
Objectives and Design Goals (Jan 2011) is
first “guidance”.
• FN - Appropriate timeframe for prototyping
and phased deployment is 2015 - 2020
• Next phase is also task of researcher to find
the best answers on requirements.

Definition - Future networks
Future Networks (FNs):
A future network is a network which is able to provide revolutionary
services, capabilities, and facilities that are hard to provide using
existing network technologies. A future network is either:
 new component network or an enhancement to an existing one;
 federation of new component networks or federation of new and
existing component networks.

ITU-T FG FN - Vision document
fundamental issues that are neglected in designing today’s
networks as ‘objectives’,
capabilities that should be supported by future networks as
‘design goals’,
ideas and research topics of future networks that are important
and may be relevant to future ITU-T standardization as ‘promising
technologies’.

http://www.itu.int/newsarchive/press_releases/2004/05.html
FN Vs. NGN
The fundamental difference between FN and NGN is the switch from
‘packet-based’ systems such as those using Internet Protocol (IP) with
a separate transport and service strata to a service and managementaware packet-based network, which is based on shared virtualized
processing, storage and communication resources.

– some
key differences
Future Networks (FN) are represented by the interconnection and interoperations of
several heterogeneous and dynamic networks of shared virtualised resources.

FN offer unrestrictive access by users to different service providers. FN offer to service
providers qualified access to a set of network embedded resource-facing services,
providing scalable, self-managed inexpensive networking infrastructures on demand.

FN can provide services of any complexity including ICT, Telecommunication and
Universal Services. FN should support the complete lifecycle of services that can be
primarily constructed by recombining existing elements in new and creative ways.

Distinguishing objectives for FN are: environment - awareness, service – awareness,
data - awareness and social-economic – awareness. Realisation of FN would be enabled
by the following design goals: power consumption control, service diversity, service
universalization, functional flexibility, data access efficiency, economic incentives,
efficient management, mobility, resource identification, high reliability and security
Realisation of FN are characterized by the following design goals:

Shared technical resources such as processing, storage and communication resources
of Future Networks are to be combined as virtual networks, across multiple domains
and used in a simple and pervasive way by any services. FN encompass all levels of
provisioning, operation, interoperability and interfaces for enhanced manageability, for
diverse services and for optimal access and utilisation of shared resources.

FN provide embedded enablers for a number of key functions, including virtualisation
enablers, in-system self-management enablers, energy saving enablers, mobility
enablers, network optimisation enablers, data & content-enablers, economic incentive
enablers.

Future Networks (FN) - Concluding Remarks
Current Networks = Network of Interconnected uncoordinated
networks – “infrastructure where intelligence is located at the
edges”
Future Networks = Unlike the original Internet infrastructure or
NGN infrastructure set of standards, which merely focus on
technical connectivity, routing, and naming, the scope of the
Future Networks recommendations, standards, and guidelines
should encompass all levels of interfaces for Manageability,
Services as well as technical (networking, computation,
storage) resources (“Infrastructure where the intelligence is
embedded - Smart Infrastructure”).
Substitute KISS principle with KII principle :
KISS Principle : “Keep it Simple, Stupid - Today optimisation is
tomorrow’s bottleneck” (Source D. Isenberg)
KII Principle : “Keep it Intelligent -Today fundamental is
tomorrow’s secondary” (Source A. Galis)

Conclusion
To design FN, wider collaboration than traditional
Telecom framework is necessary.
 Today’s promising areas are all interdisciplinary areas,
which include Telecom and other industries
 Clouds: computing clouds, in-network clouds, storage
clouds, smart grid: power, IoT: health, vehicle, etc.
 Telecom has become an infrastructure of every
industry, so we need to learn their needs to design
future networks
 We can’t design smart grid ready network without
understanding power industry’s requirements
