The prototype extends the Click modular router with control capabilities including dynamic composition and discovery that are used to demonstrate simple but flexible stacks of instances of a metaprotocol that are customizable at runtime.
Abstract
The recursive network architecture (RNA) explores the relationship of layering to protocol and network architecture. RNA examines the implications of using a single, tunable protocol, called a metaprotocol, for different layers of the protocol stack, reusing basic protocol operations across different protocol layers to avoid reimplementation. Its primary goal is to encourage cleaner cross-layer interaction, to support dynamic service composition, and to gain an understanding of how layering affects architecture. This paper provides a description of RNA and a recently completed initial prototype. The prototype extends the Click modular router with control capabilities including dynamic composition and discovery. These capabilities are used to demonstrate simple but flexible stacks of instances of a metaprotocol that are customizable at runtime.

LIPSIN: line speed publish/subscribe inter-networking

TL;DR: A novel multicast forwarding fabric suitable for large-scale topic-based publish/subscribe is proposed, and due to very simple forwarding decisions and small forwarding tables, the fabric may be more energy efficient than the currently used ones.

Architectures for the future networks and the next generation Internet: A survey

TL;DR: A comprehensive survey of networking research projects and activities covering various testbeds for experimentations for new architectures, new security mechanisms, content delivery mechanisms, management and control frameworks, service architectures, and routing mechanisms is presented.

Recursive quantum repeater networks

TL;DR: This work introduces the notion of a Quantum Recursive Network Architecture, developed from the emerging classical concept of 'recursive networks', extending recursive mechanisms from a focus on data forwarding to a more general distributed computing request framework.

STEM-Net: an evolutionary network architecture for smart and sustainable cities

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new generation of network nodes, called stem nodes, based on the innovative idea of ‘stemness’, which pushes forward the well‐known self‐configuration and self‐management concepts towards the idea of node mutation and evolution.

A Dynamic Recursive Unified Internet Design (DRUID)

TL;DR: The DRUID architecture composed of a single recursive block, translation tables, persistent state is described, and its goals and benefits are highlighted, including unifying the data, control, management, and security planes currently considered orthogonal aspects of network architecture.

Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol

R. Atkinson
TL;DR: This document describes an updated version of the "Security Architecture for IP", which is designed to provide security services for traffic at the IP layer, and obsoletes RFC 2401 (November 1998).

The click modular router

TL;DR: On conventional PC hardware, the Click IP router achieves a maximum loss-free forwarding rate of 333,000 64-byte packets per second, demonstrating that Click's modular and flexible architecture is compatible with good performance.

The Click modular router

TL;DR: The Click IP router can forward 64-byte packets at 73,000 packets per second, just 10% slower than Linux alone, and is easy to extend by adding additional elements, which are demonstrated with augmented configurations.

A security architecture for the Internet protocol

TL;DR: The design, rationale, and implementation of a security architecture for protecting the secrecy and integrity of Internet traffic at the Internet Protocol (IP) layer, which includes a modular key management protocol, called MKMP, is presented.

Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) Protocol

TL;DR: This document describes version 2 of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, which does not interoperate with version 1, but it has enough of the header format in common that both versions can unambiguously run over the same UDP port.
