ID based communication in Domain-Insulated Autonomous Network Architecture (DIANA)

Although the Internet achieved tremendous success in the recent decades, several limitations have emerged from recent technical advancement and challenging requirements of diverse applications. For overcoming these limitations, the future Internet can be redesigned in the “clean slate” basis. This paper proposes a novel architecture that considers both horizontal and vertical separations called, Domain-Insulated Autonomous Network architecture (DIANA). In this architecture, a network is composed of a set of basic building blocks, called “domains”, which can be defined recursively by topological, administrative, or operational grouping of communicating entities. In this paper, the design principles of DIANA and its distinguishing features are described. Then the inter-domain routing mechanism is described along with some use cases of DIANA.
