| Deployment of novel network services is a
major milestone on the road towards the Next Generation Internet.
Re-designing the Internet completely in a so called \clean slate
approach" is not feasible in near future. However, incrementally
adding new services often results in domain-limited deployment,
halflayers and patchwork design, as seen, e. g., for IP-Multicast
or Mobile IP. We present the Spontaneous Virtual Networks
(SpoVNet) project that designs an architecture for exible service
deployment on top of heterogeneous networks. It therefore enables
a seamless transition towards the Future Internet. The SpoVNet
architecture fosters service creation and deployment by hiding
heterogeneity, mobility, and multi-homing. Furthermore, it allows
the incremental replacement of SpoVNet services by native
services as soon as they become available in future networks. To
show the applicability of SpoVNet's concepts, two services - a
group communication service and an event handling service|and two
applications - a peer-to-peer online game and a video streaming
application|that run on top of the SpoVNet architecture are
presented. |
