This project is aimed at the design and experimental validation of a comprehensive clean-slate future Internet architecture. The proposed MobilityFirst architecture is motivated by the ongoing paradigm shift of Internet usage from today?s fixed PC/host (client)?server model to emerging mobile data services and pervasive computing applications. The major design goals of the architecture are: mobility as the norm with dynamic host and network mobility at scale; robustness with respect to intrinsic properties of the wireless medium; trustworthiness in the form of enhanced security and privacy; usability features such as support for context-aware services, evolvability, manageability and economic viability. The key components of the MobilityFirst network design are: (1) separation of naming and addressing, implemented via a fast global dynamic name resolution service; (2) self-certifying public key network addresses to support strong authentication and security; (3) generalized delay-tolerant routing with in-network storage for packets in transit; (4) flat-label internetwork routing with public key addresses; (5) hop-by-hop transport protocols operating over segments rather than an end-to-end path; (6) a separate network management plane that provides enhanced visibility; (7) optional privacy features for user and location data; and (8) an integrated computing and storage layer to support programmability. The project?s scope includes architectural design, validation of key protocol components, testbed prototyping of the MobilityFirst architecture as a whole, and real-world protocol deployment on the GENI experimental infrastructure. The results of this project will provide architectural guidance for cellular-Internet convergence, and are expected to influence future technical standards in the networking industry.

该项目旨在设计和实验验证综合的清洁未来互联网体系结构。所提出的移动性首位体系结构是由固定的PC/主机（客户端）？服务器模型到出现移动数据服务和Pervasive Computing应用程序的持续范式转移的动机。该体系结构的主要设计目标是：移动性作为规范，具有动态的主机和网络移动性；关于无线介质的内在特性的鲁棒性；以增强安全性和隐私形式的信任度；可用性功能，例如支持上下文感知服务，可发展性，可管理性和经济可行性。 MobilityFirst网络设计的关键组成部分是：（1）通过快速的全局动态名称分辨率服务实现命名和寻址的分离； （2）自我认证的公共密钥网络地址，以支持强大的身份验证和安全性； （3）通用延迟耐耐剂路由，带有用于传输的数据包的网络内存储； （4）带有公共密钥地址的平板互联网处理路由； （5）通过细分市场而不是端到端路径运行的逐跳运输协议； （6）单独的网络管理平面，提供增强的可见性； （7）用户和位置数据的可选隐私功能； （8）一个集成的计算和存储层，以支持可编程性。该项目的范围包括架构设计，关键协议组件的验证，整个MobilityFirst Architecture的测试式原型制作以及在Geni实验基础架构上部署的现实世界方案。该项目的结果将为蜂窝互联网融合提供架构指导，并有望影响网络行业的未来技术标准。
