An extended web browser for id/locator separation network

With the pretty prompt growth in Internet content, the main usage pattern of internet is shifting from traditional host-to-host model to content dissemination model. To support content distribution, content delivery networks (CDNs) gives an ad-hoc solution and some of future internet projects suggest a clean-slate design. Web applications have become one of the fundamental internet services. How to effectively support the popular browser-based web application is one of keys to success for future internet projects. This paper proposes the IDNet-based web applications. IDNet consists of id/locator separation scheme and domain-insulated autonomous network architecture (DIANA) which redesign the future internet in the clean slate basis. We design and develop an IDNet Browser based on the open source Qt. IDNet browser enables ID fetching and rendering by both `idp:/' schemes URID (Universal Resource Identifier) and `http:/' schemes URI in HTML The experiment shows that it can well be applicable to the IDNet test topology.

I. Introduction

In current society, there is no doubt that the Internet epitomizes a cornerstone tool for human communications, but, at the same time, it has triggered new challenging problems. Users expect higher levels of performance, security, and reliability. As a result of its gigantic growth, the Internet is reaching some technological and operational limits imposed by its architecture in its attempt to give full support to the new requirements introduced by increasing services, applications, and content [1].
