The Architecture Working Group (WG) is chartered to explore the network
architecture of Future Internet.
As the Internet grows towards a social infrastructure, it is being required to address a range of new requirements,e.g. scalability, security, mobility, etc.
Since these requirements were not considered in the original Internet design, some basic concepts of the Internet need to be revisited and,
Internet may have to be re-designed, possibly through a clean-slate way.
The work scope of the Architecture WG includes following items,
but is not limited to;
- Re-visitation on current the Internet fundamentals such as the hourglass model, and the end to end argument
- Collection of new requirements for Future Internet
- Discussion on both the clean slate and the incremental approaches to Future Internet architecture, based on the requirements
- Discussion on possible deployment scenarios for Future Internet, including evolutional transitions
- Review on relevant works in US, EU, Asia, etc.
- Recommendation on necessary research issues in Korea
