Abstract:
The clean-slate approach to new network architectures, named Future Internet Architectures, is a response from the research community to the challenges that the Internet architecture faces today, such as mobility. One major issue in this area is the use of large scale production networks to deploy and test new network architectures. This work extends a previous one and deploys the clean-slate Entity Title Architecture (ETArch) on a production network of a telecom operator. By using Virtual Tunnel (VTun) as an overlay, it was possible to scale out the deployment and connect several customers in different cities. ETArch Pilot shows the feasibility to move forward toward future Internet deployment in order to bring new services and applications to customers.
