The future network is expected to support extremely large bandwidth, ultra-low latency or
deterministic delay, extremely high reliability, and massive connectivity for novel forward …

The couplings between IP addresses, names of content or services, and socket interfaces,
are too tight. This impedes system manageability, growth, and overall provisioning. In turn …

It is observed that the Internet has been slowly" fragmented" into Many Networks (ManyNets)
due to both technical and commercial evolutions. The interconnection among those …

Long identifier brings low packet forwarding efficiency in Internet of Things (IoT), whereas
short identifier may suffer from the exhaustion of identifier space. Compared with fixed …

After decades of IPv6 development., it is clear that the “legacy”” IPv4 protocol stack and the
TCP/IPv4 architecture will coexist with IPv6 in the foreseeable future, even if IPv6 …

IP experiences dramatic development since its birth and has become the fundamental
protocol of the Internet. However, IP faced more and more prominent problems in the past …

Limited domains were defined conceptually in RFC 8799 to cater to requirements and
behaviours that extend the dominant view of IP packet delivery in the Internet. This paper …

We propose the adaptive addresses under a hierarchical network structure, which can be
realized in a newer generation of IP protocol (ie, IPvn). It minimizes the communication …

Different industry verticals require their network domains to describe their optimized
application control and behavior through custom protocols. Such local protocols are …

The conventional IP address is designed with fixed length and lacking of extensibility, while
the demand for addresses varies greatly in different scenarios. Flexible IP (FlexIP), as a …
