RINA: Virtual networks as a natural consequence of a complete network architecture

DimitriStaessens, Eduard Grasa, The PRISTINE consortium

#ictpristine

PRISTINE Objectives

• Design and implement the innovative internals of the RINA architecture that include the programmable functionsfor:

• securityof content and application processes,

• supporting QoS and congestion control in aggregated levels, providing protection and resilience, facilitating more efficient topological routing

• multi-layer managementfor handling configuration, performance and security.

• Demonstrate the applicability and benefits of this approach and its built-in functions in three use-cases

• datacenter, distributed cloud, carrier network

• void _deallocate(portId)• void _write(portId, sdu)• sdu_read(portId)• void _registerApp(appName, List<difName>)• void _unregisterApp(appName, List<difName>)

Customer VPN DIF

Programmable VPNs communicating application instances

Customizable VPN: addressing, routing, data transfer, resource allocation, security

VPN API allows allocation of flows with concrete characteristics (loss, delay, etc)

Same building block used for all layers (VPN, home network, datacentre, ISP)
