Abstract

While research on cross-layer network optimization has been progressing, useful implementations have been lagging because the current Internet architecture does not accommodate cross-layering gracefully. As part of our FIND project, we propose a software architecture for the future Internet that is designed to accommodate such interactions. We present a conceptual overview as well as high level software design and an early prototype implementation, and point out the strengths of our architecture.
