Towards the Evolution of Publish/Subscribe Internetworking Mechanisms with PSIRP

Abstract

Despite its enormous success, the current Internet’s architecture has not evolved in a scalable manner. There are many issues concerning simple services that need complex network systems in order to work. Future Internet Architectures are candidates to solve some of the problems related to the current Internet. This paper describes and evaluates a mechanism to adapt and migrate the current Internet services to future network architectures based on the Publish/Subscribe paradigm. This paper also contributes to a soft transition mechanism for seamless interoperability of the PubSubHubbub protocol to a Future Internet Architecture.
