HYBRID MILSA ARCHITECTURE DESIGN FOR NEXT GENERATION INTERNET

Current Internet is faced with many challenges including routing scalability, mobility, multihoming, renumbering, traffic engineering, policy enforcements, and security because of the interplay between the end-to-end design of IP and the vested interests of competing stakeholders which lead to the Internet’s growing ossification. The architectural innovations and technologies aimed at solving these problems are set back owing to the difficulty in testing and implementing them in the context of the current Internet. New designs to address the major deficiency or to provide new services cannot be easily implemented other than by step-by- step incremental changes. In this paper we describe two example solutions (HIP and LISP) of these two directions, and after that we discuss our MILSA solution which combines the advantages of these two directions and avoids their disadvantages
