Abstract:
Due to Internet's remarkable success, its architecture is being challenged to attend new applications requirements such as mobility, security and Quality of Experience (QoE), among others. The requirements that the architecture faces today are far away from the design principles of the protocols in the sixties. Several research initiatives are based on a clean-slate approach, a disruptive view that might result in a completely new network. Our research group proposed the Entity Title Architecture (ETArch), a clean-slate Software Defined Networking (SDN) based approach that currently is able to satisfy applications requirements such as support to multicast traffic, mobility and QoE. This work goes further and presents the deployment of ETArch on a telecommunications service provider network. This work contributes to Future Internet initiatives by presenting a viable approach to deploy new network architectures on top of current providers networks.
