Today’s model of networking primarily concentrates intelligence
at the end hosts with the network itself offering
a simple"best-effor","data agnostic" communication
medium. However, this paradigm has proven to be insufficient
to meet todays needs considering the diversity of applications
and devices that are networked. To offer value
added services to these end users and applications, more
and more intelligence needs to be migrated away from the
edges and into the network in a controlled and tractable
manner. In this paper, we present our approach of utilizing
semantic data tagging to provide content level information
for data streams flowing through a network. A policy based
management mechanism is utilized within the network fabric
allowing routers to reason over the content and make
intelligent decisions regarding the handling of data packets.
Service differentiation, in-network content adaptation,
traffic monitoring and control etc. are some of the new services
that can now be offered by the network in a generic
and flexible manner. By deploying our proposed architecture,
a network need no longer be viewed as a simple data
transport medium but rather as a policy-controlled intelligent
packet/stream processor that can offer specialized handling
based on application needs.
