New Elastic Node Addressing Schemes for Next-Generation Networks

The exponential growth in mobile computing technology has resulted in the form of newer mobile devices with variable features and capabilities. Hence to maximise the utilisation of such devices, the mobile applications also need to be designed with capabilities to address the real-time as well as non-real-time services requirements using virtualization and distributed computing techniques. The prime disadvantage of conventional networks is fixed and inflexible in their operation. Due to their hierarchical architecture, traditional networks are unable to meet the future network requirements such as cloud services and big data analysis that requires classified network traffics based on user demands. Hence, the future network infrastructure has to fulfil few critical criteria such as dynamicity, scalability, adaptability, better quality of service in terms of improved bandwidth and reduced latency. But, the major factor such as node addressing at lower layers could be a critical issue which affects the above mentioned criteria equally. This paper presents a detailed analysis with respect to the consequences of node addressing issues in current networking standards. This paper also suggest some approaches to satisfy the outcomes such as dynamicity, scalability, adaptability and better quality of services for next generation network infrastructures.
