Abstract

sloppy This paper describes FARA, a new organization of, network architecture concepts. FARA (Forwarding directive, Association, and Rendezvous Architecture) defines an abstract model with considerable generality and flexibility, based upon the decoupling of end-system names from network addresses. The paper explores the implications of FARA and the range of architecture instantiations that may be derived from FARA. As an illustration, the paper outlines a particular derived architecture, M-FARA, which features support for generalized mobility and multiple realms of network addressing.
