The Prototype of Decentralized Multilateral Co-Governing Post-IP Internet Architecture and Its Testing on Operator Networks

TL;DR

This paper introduces a decentralized multilateral co-governing architecture for the Post-IP Internet, tested on operator networks across China and Hong Kong, aiming to address the limitations of current IP networks in providing high-quality, cooperative cyberspace management.

Contribution

It proposes a novel decentralized architecture for Post-IP Internet governance and demonstrates its feasibility through prototype testing on real operator networks.

Findings

Architecture supports coexistence of Content-Centric Networking and IP networks

Prototype successfully tested on networks in China, Hong Kong, and Macao

Indicates potential as a Chinese solution for global Internet governance

Abstract

The Internet has become the most important infrastructure of modern society, while the existing IP network is unable to provide high-quality service. The unilateralism IP network is unable to satisfy the Co-managing and Co-governing demands to Cyberspace for most Nations in the world as well. Facing this challenge, we propose a novel Decentralized Multilateral Co-Governing Post-IP Internet architecture. To verify its effectiveness, we develop the prototype on the operator's networks including China Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao. The experiments and testing results show that this architecture is feasible for co-existing of Content-Centric Networking and IP network, and it might become a Chinese Solution to the world.
