Some Characteristics of the Current Internet

• Users are increasingly nomadic and expect the
  network to adapt itself automatically to the
  terminal
• Main extensions such as multicast, QoS and IP
  mobility have failed to be widely deployed
• Performance problems are usually taken care by
  patching
• Implementation of security solutions left to
  end-user or closest organisation
• Frontier between data services and distribution
  services (TV, Video On Demand) is becoming
  progressively more blurred

6
Some Issues with the Current Internet1/2

• Current structure is becoming increasingly unable
  to accommodate emerging technology disruptions
  and the applications that it itself has inspired.
  Emerging problems include
• Bandwidth as a managed resource
• High bandwidths over-proportionally expensive
• Commercial providers slow to provide new
  competitive services
• Monitoring and managing the end-end L1/L2 path
• Domains of responsibility who pays for content
  delivery and P2P?
• Equipment heterogeneity, etc

7
Some Issues with the Current Internet2/2

• Current patch-work or point solutions ineffective
• Overall configuration sensitive and difficult
• A vast (and sometimes absurd) collection of
  protocol stacks
• Large part of failures resulting from
  misconfigurations
• Security problems
• Definition, uptake and deployment of standards
• G.709, GFP, LCAS/VCAT

8
Key Present-Day Trends

• Developments within the present IP and Internet
  architectures (no disruption at the architecture
  level)
• Increase capacity in order to handle the traffic
  of video-related services
• Improve quality of services in terms of
  performance and reliability
• Research to reverse the current design from
• User-defined services ? communication
• Multi-service networks ? multi-network services

9
Network Research in FP6Strategic Objectives

• Two key directions
• Broadband for all
• Mobile and wireless systems beyond 3G
• Key objectives
• Optimised access technologies
• EU-wide consolidated approach on regulatory
  aspects and standardised solutions
• EU-wide consolidated approach on appropriate
  enablers for applications and services
• Technology, systems and services in the field of
  future standards
• Spectrum requirements and spectrum usage

10

  Broadband over Power Lines (CBPL) communication
  equipment that meets the regulatory requirements
  on electro-magnetic requirements and can deliver
  high data rates using low transmit power spectral
  density

  issues such as service authorisation,
  interworking with IPv4, protocol reliability, etc
• Enrich basic mobility service provided by Mobile
  IPv6 with additional features, enabling the
  on-demand activation and self-configuration of
  specific premium network features (multihoming,
  QoS, etc)
• Project type Specific Targeted Research Project
  (STREP)
• Project website

15
Mesh and Sensor NetworksFP6 Project Case Study
MAGNET Beyond

• MAGNET Beyond My Personal Adaptive Global Net
• Objective
• Enable commercially viable personal networks
  (PNs) that support resource-efficient, robust,
  ubiquitous personal services in a secure,
  heterogeneous networking environment for mobile
  users
• Project type Integrated Project (IP)
• Project website

16
Key Emerging Themes

• Broadband
• Convergence, linkage of broadband and
  communications
• Pervasive low-cost equipment
• Scalability and pervasive networking
• Human-oriented
• Heterogeneous environment
• A single network cannot solve all problems

17
and the Accompanying VisionThe Future Network

• Interconnection between the real and digital
  worlds
• Dynamic adaptation of the global information and
  communication system to the users environment
  and preferences
• Seamless inter-working of different technologies
• Global and generalised mobility, ABC
• Connection at any time through the best available
  network
• Self-organisation and autonomic networking
• Home networking
• Integration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs),
  personal area networks, mobile ad-hoc networks,
  home networks, mesh networks, and fixed and
  mobile access networks

18
The Future NetworkNGN Services

• PSTN / ISDN emulation
• Supports legacy phones on an all-IP network
  leading to operational advantages
• PSTN multi-media telephony
• Will provide PSTN / ISDN-like voice, video, data
  calls on IP-phones, PCs, mobiles and handhelds
• Messaging and presence
• Instant messaging, MMS
• Value-added services
• IP-TV
• Video-on-Demand (VOD), near-VOD, broadcast TV,
  etc
• Regulatory requirements
