Abstract :
The current closed network infrastructure creates a gap between industry and academy. This paper discusses a framework of a completely open network infrastructure, including open routing devices and open operation of those devices. By such an open network, academia researchers and industry practitioners can jointly work on the network design, optimization and innovation, which provide another dimension of openness for next generation networks.
