TRIAD: Translating Relaying Internetwork Architecture Integrating Active Directories: Final Report
Abstract
The TRIAD project addresses a crisis in the Internet architecture that has arisen because the original architecture has been significantly compromised to support content distribution and NAT, reducing the robustness and the security of Internet applications, yet IPv6 does not address these problems fully and shows no immediate prospect of being significantly deployed. This research developed and demonstrated the benefits of a new/revised Internet architecture in which all endpoints and (multicast) channels are identified by name rather than address. This simple change in Internet design leads to a consequential set of changes, including name-based checksums, integrated naming and routing, unified transport, secure internet access, feedback-based routing and a number of other innovations that dramatically improve the availability and security of the Internet without imposing the gratuitous cost of changing to IPv6, which fails to address these issue. TRIAD's revolutionary approach to Internet architecture thus allows multi-dimensional scaling that is particularly suitable for future military needs, including very small-scale embedded systems and distributed command and control.
