Last week i2CAT had the pleasure of hosting the 8th meeting of the ETSI ISG on Next Generation Protocols (NGP). As part of the meeting, ARCFIRE representatives organised a 3 hours session to discuss about the principles of a Generic Network Protocol Architecture (Work Item number 9 of the NGP, actually in progress), leveraging the work on RINA. The session discussed some of the RINA research results achieved in the IRATI, PRISTINE and ARCFIRE projects, and showed three demos of the IRATI RINA implementation in action (renumbering, IP over RINA and distributed mobility management).
