MobilityFirst Software Release

This wiki covers the software release of key pieces of the MobilityFirst Future Internet Architecture proposal. To learn about the architecture proposal itself, visit the MobilityFirst project website. However, we start with a small overview and few highlights of the architecture that will help form an idea of the different pieces of the software release.

Architecture Highlights

• Name-based Networking

  GUID is the new narrow waist

• Hybrid GUID/NA Routing and Forwarding

  Extensible Network Header

  SDN Architecture

Software Release Overview
