In order to meet expected requirements for reliability and performance in Future Internet, a large majority of the management functions will be automated and rely on embedded capabilities in the network. The objective of the proposed research is to explore design alternatives in the development of technology that will facilitate critical network management tasks in Future Internet. The research program to achieve these capabilities is focused on exploring design alternatives for network management building blocks that will provide essential low-level functionality and can then be composed in different configurations to enable an Internet Management Plane. Specific management building blocks that are targeted for this work include: 1) ubiquitous instrumentation, 2) protocols for data sharing, 3) protocols for end host signaling, 4) event detection mechanisms, and 5) systems for data organization, summarization and presentation. This research program will be facilitated by the use of large-scale test-bed facilities that enable both in situ measurements and controlled laboratory experiments. The broader impacts of this project are that it provides a foundation for flexible, measurement-based investigation of new network architectures and network management practices. The expected results of this work include documentation of designs and in some cases initial prototypes for each of the building blocks. The project also includes education and outreach activities that will develop course materials on network measurement, configuration and management. These web-based materials, which will be openly available to the community, will emphasize a hands-on approach intended to provide students with practical, relevant experiences.

为了满足未来互联网对可靠性和性能的预期要求，绝大多数管理功能将实现自动化，并依赖于网络中的嵌入式功能。 拟议研究的目的是探索技术开发中的设计替代方案，以促进未来互联网中的关键网络管理任务。实现这些功能的研究计划侧重于探索网络管理构建块的​​设计替代方案，这些构建块将提供必要的低级功能，然后可以以不同的配置进行组合以启用互联网管理平面。这项工作的具体管理构建块包括：1) 无处不在的仪器，2) 数据共享协议，3) 终端主机信令协议，4) 事件检测机制，以及 5) 数据组织、汇总和呈现系统。该研究计划将通过使用大型试验台设施来促进，这些设施可以进行现场测量和受控实验室实验。 该项目更广泛的影响在于，它为新网络架构和网络管理实践的灵活、基于测量的调查提供了基础。 这项工作的预期结果包括设计文档，在某些情况下还包括每个构建块的初始原型。 该项目还包括教育和推广活动，将开发有关网络测量、配置和管理的课程材料。 这些基于网络的材料将向社区公开提供，将强调实践方法，旨在为学生提供实用的相关经验。
