The Internet faces many challenges, including security, management and control. The research project explores a future Internet/networking architecture based on a well-proven hierarchical architecture that is untested at global levels. The architecture includes a flexible addressing scheme and a compact four layer protocol stack. The radical change to the Internet architecture would be potentially transformative from a socioeconomic and business perspective. The scientific problems to be addressed are hence multidisciplinary. The technical and socioeconomic feasibility for the new network architecture, as well as the likely patterns of adoption for such a radical change are investigated. Intellectual merit: This research asks how a fully hierarchical architecture, with adequate redundancy at different levels in this design, results in a robust structure that is also scalable. The solution distributes the "switching decisions," the management of how traffic moves from one point to another, to all levels of a hierarchy of communications providers: it allows the traffic to be managed independently wherever the traffic is flowing. The replaces present highly interdependent routing and network management architecture. The research will show how this architecture is robust and stable with a potential for future growth. A key contribution of the architecture is a scalable and flexible hierarchical addressing scheme, where key network functions are relegated to different levels in the hierarchy, and this also provides better management and control. The research includes proof-of-concept by interfacing diverse wireless networks in the architecture.Broader impact: A new network architecture resulting from the SWITCHNET research could create radical changes in the economics of communications networks and ultimately have a very large impact on the economy and society. The conceptual architecture is almost ideally scalable. It is very much simpler to manage than the present architecture. As an example of the broad impact of SWITCHNET manageability, by enabling fundamentally better provider control, the architecture would open the door to new methods of identifying and pushing back denial of service, an economically and nationally much needed capability. Furthermore, this research could provide the breakthrough architecture for attaining the all-optical goal and thus address that national challenge to create a more energy-efficient network. Approaches to achieving such a purely optical communications infrastructure have long been sought.

互联网面临许多挑战，包括安全，管理和控制。该研究项目基于未经测试的全球级别的良好层次结构探索未来的互联网/网络体系结构。该体系结构包括灵活的寻址方案和紧凑的四层协议堆栈。 从社会经济和商业角度来看，对互联网体系结构的根本变化可能会改变。因此，要解决的科学问题是多学科。研究了新网络架构的技术和社会经济可行性，以及这种根本性变化的可能采用模式。 知识分子的优点：这项研究询问如何在这种设计中具有不同级别的完全层次结构，导致可扩展的结构也可扩展。该解决方案分发了“交换决策”，流量如何从一个点到另一点移动到通信提供商的各个层次结构的管理：它允许在流量流动的任何地方独立管理流量。 替代当前高度相互依存的路由和网络管理体系结构。 该研究将展示这种体系结构如何稳定和稳定，并有可能增长。该体系结构的关键贡献是可扩展且灵活的层次讨论方案，其中关键网络功能被降低到层次结构中的不同级别，这也提供了更好的管理和控制。 该研究包括通过将各种无线网络连接到架构中的概念验证。Broader的影响：由SwitchNet Research产生的新网络体系结构可能会在通信网络的经济学上产生根本性的变化，并最终对经济和社会产生很大的影响。 概念架构几乎是可扩展的。 它比当前的体系结构要简单得多。 作为开关网络可管理性的广泛影响的一个例子，通过从根本上启用更好的提供商控制，该体系结构将为识别和推迟拒绝服务的新方法打开大门，这是经济和全国范围内急需的能力。 此外，这项研究可以为实现全光目标提供突破性的体系结构，从而解决国家挑战以建立更节能的网络。早就寻求实现这种纯粹的光学通信基础设施的方法。
