Abstract

We propose to enhance the Next Generation Internet by creating a secure and scalable communication infrastructure that mirrors the structure of the real world: people talk to people, objects, objects between themselves and, in general, entities denoted by digital identities communicating with each other. We start from the digital identity and create a view in the communication sphere which is singular, unique, and optimized for that particular digital identity, building an identity plane that allows entities to address each other in an "identity to identity" approach. We use stackable overlay networks to deliver messages among communication parties and we look at the performance issues related with such kind of networks, being able to come halfway to the optimum.
