The key

39、words “is recommended“ indicate a requirement which is recommended but which is not absolutely required. Thus this requirement need not be present to claim conformance. The keywords “can optionally“ and “may“ indicate an optional requirement which is permissible, without implying any sense of being

40、recommended. These terms are not intended to imply that the Y series Supplement 26 (12/2015) 3 vendors implementation must provide the option and the feature can be optionally enabled by the network operator/service provider. Rather, it means the vendor may optionally provide the feature and still c

In addition, network requirements will be increa

42、singly polymorphic and subject to frequent changes in the future, so it is very difficult to accurately predict the requirements of future networks and it is even more difficult to design new candidates for future packet based networks (FPBNs) based on these currently predicted requirements. Today,

43、as a consequence, academic and industrial communities have begun to study future network architecture solutions which can “flexibly change the network structure to adopt the frequently changing application requirements“. This means that the future network must be polymorphic and so able to easily ch

44、ange the network structure, network protocols and network functions of network elements, to meet frequently changing application requirements. This task is ongoing and promising progress has been made. Reconfigurable networking is becoming one of the basic characteristics of future packet based netw

45、orks (FPBNs). Figure 1 shows the change from transport control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) to reconfigurable networking. Figure 1 From TCP/IP to reconfigurable networking 7 Reconfigurable networking mechanisms There are many different approaches and methods that can be employed to realize re

46、configurable networking. One method under research is to abstract the network functions and encapsulate them as network middlewares. These network middlewares can be used to assemble a specific network which can meet all of the needs of that specific network. Another method makes full use of the “mi

47、cro kernel“ concept of a computer operating system and designs a “micro kernel“ of network functions. This micro kernel can support the most basic network functions and includes the minimum network instruction set. Other network functions are in the form of plug-ins and are spliced to the network mi

48、cro kernel in a plug-and-play manner to compose a relatively simple and efficient network layer. Figure 2 shows a simplified reference functional framework of this mechanism. 4 Y series Supplement 26 (12/2015) Figure 2 Reference functional framework of minimum network functions and network polymorph

49、ism This framework adopts the concept of a “mico kernel“ and network polymorphism which abstracts the most basic and most important network functions as stable minimum network functions. Other network functions can be derived based on the minimum network functions. The process of creating new network functions based on these most basic network functions is called network polymorphism. 8 Reconfigurable networking scenarios 8.1 Internet service providers can build customized da
