Abstract

The current internetworking architecture presents some limitations to naturally support mobility and multi-homing. Among the limitations, the IP semantic overload seems to be a primary issue to be considered. In this paper we present a next generation internetworking architecture to overcome the IP semantic overload by introducing an identification layer located between the network and transport layers. This new layer provides a stable identifier for end-hosts, enabling the natural deployment of new services, such as mobility, multi-homing and security embedded. We implemented a prototype and evaluated it considering the legacy application support in mobility scenarios.
