From the perspective of network addressing and routing, IP (including IPv4 and IPv6) has been adopted by the Internet for more than 40 years, which is originally designed for host-to-host communication paradigm. However, this host-to-host communication paradigm has been dramatically changed by network softwarization and virtualization. In addition, benefiting from network softwarization and virtualization, novel network services like cloud computing, edge computing, and fog computing have attracted a variety of heterogeneous devices (e.g., wearable devices, sensors, industrial nodes, smart home appliances, and drones) to communicate through the Internet. For example, a cluster of IoT devices using ZigBee or IEEE 802.15.4 for local communication may want to use the MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) service to analyze the data they generate, and a factory’s programmable logic controller (PLC) hosted in cloud need to send control commands to a node in its local fieldbus. Such heterogeneous communications in the future Internet may also bring challenges to the traditional IP addressing and routing scheme.
The purpose of ETSN is to identify, explore potential solutions, the issues of the traditional IP addressing and routing scheme from all the operational perspectives with the context of ubiquitous and heterogeneous communications in the future Internet. A major constraint that would appear is the ability to operate in real-time and to be compatible with requirements of the softwarized networks regarding its responsiveness to configuration modifications.
ETSN 2019 will be held on June 28 2019 and co-located with IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization.
