Fiber optic cable, the backbone of many future high-speed Internet lines, can be now seen along some highways on utility poles.
Many applications in the future Internet will use the multicasting service mode.
Many clean-slate approaches for Future Internet architectures aim at replacing the current architecture with just a single new architecture.
To address the routing scalability as well as security problems in current Internet, core-edge separation is introduced into many proposals for the architecture of future Internet.
This scenario has been envisaged, from many different perspectives, along several research trends (Future Internet, IoT), on which institutions and governments are spending huge efforts, having already identified such topics as strategic ones.
While the precise structure of the future Internet is not yet clear, many directions of growth seem apparent.
3. Future Internet growth potential remains very high for many overseas markets.
Advocates of an evolutionary approach to a future internet of things create new architectures by reusing as many components as possible from existing networking solutions.
All over the world, we can see many research task forces, such as four projects that National Science Foundation NSFF) promotes as the Future Internet Architecture (FIA)[2] in the United States, the European Future Internet Assembly[3] under the European Seventh Framework Program (FP7), and AKARI[4] in Japan, which are all working on future Internet research work.
Despite the diversity of ideas, requirements, and challenges behind the future Internet design initiatives, from a conceptual point of view there are many similarities among them.
