This tutorial will provide an introduction to the only comprehensive network architecture proposed in the last two decades. RINA is a significant advance over our previous attempts and provides the tools to resolve most of the problems confronting the Internet today: security, router table explosion, multihoming, mobility, multicast, QoS, etc. While avoiding the complexities of deep packet inspection, NATs, middleboxes, and other stop-gap measures. RINA yields a huge complexity collapse that should greatly reduce both capex and opex costs, while opening up new opportunities for both providers and application developers to create far more sophisticated new offerings with greater flexibility, faster time to market, and lower development costs.
The tutorial will cover the underlying basis for RINA, an in-depth treatment of naming and addressing issues contrasting it with the current Internet addressing, the nature of the protocols and how this leads to a complexity collapse, what adoption looks like, and how you can start experimenting with RINA in your own environment, tailoring it to your requirements.
