Abstract:

Internet applications have different needs for network bandwidth,latency,jitter,and packet loss.However,the fact that the network and applications are decoupled makes it difficult for the network to be aware of an application’s requirements and ensure its quality of service (e.g.,service level agreement,SLA).A framework called application-aware IPv6 networking (APN6) was proposed,which could encapsulate applications’ requirements into packets.Networks could be aware of an application’s requirements and perform traffic steering and network resource adjustment.Besides,a secure access control mechanism was designed to solve application information forgery and tampering issues in APN6,which ensured that APN6 only provided services to legal users.

Key words: application-aware networking, APN6, SRv6, IPv6
