CoLoR: an information-centric internet architecture for innovations

Abstract

In this article, we describe an information-centric Internet architecture called CoLoR that couples service location and inter-domain routing while decoupling them from forwarding. Preliminary results based on implementation and analysis show that CoLoR is promising since it satisfies many requirements of the future Internet, including being information-centric, encouraging innovations, and providing efficient support for mobility, multicast, multi-homing, and middleboxes.
