New IP: A Data Packet Framework to Evolve the Internet : Invited Paper

Abstract

The IP is a primary data plane protocol on the Internet, which has several deficiencies when addressing the needs of modern digital society involving machine-to-machine communication and a remarkably enhanced user experience. New IP is an advanced network protocol specification to modernize the network layer without changing the fundamental Internet architecture. New IP envisions a new header format with 3 functional characteristics, i.e., shipping spec, contract spec, and payload spec. Using these fundamental blocks, New IP proposes a new data plane forwarding paradigm with far more advanced capabilities, such as ManyNets addressing, high precision services and qualitative communications.
