This thesis presents a new „clean slate“ architecture for the future Internet, which is based on the paradigm of locator/identifier separation. This paradigm can cope with arising problems like routing table growth or lack of mobility support for devices. Novelties compared to existing approaches are a two-tier locator, which enables support for heterogeneous networks and devices as well as a unique identifier for devices with lifetime validity. This architecture is further extended to support content, which allows for addressing content objects with distinct identifiers. Additionally, an algorithm is developed that distributes content objects in the Internet according to popularity and access distribution. This is done in a resource efficient way, thus minimizing provisioning costs. Furthermore, migration strategies from the current Internet to the future Internet are developed and discussed. Parts of this concept have been implemented in the “German Lab” experimental facility.
