While the basic design of the Internet has largely remained the same since its inception, the manner in which devices connect to it has seen a dramatic change - from fixed,wired access to predominantly wireless over Wi-Fi and 3G/4G cellular technologies.
This has motivated several recent efforts towards a clean slate re-design of the Internet architecture, in order to better support emerging mobility requirements [1],
[2].
As these works have shown, efficient and flexible support of mobile devices requires a fundamental rethinking of the underlying routing and transport mechanisms.
