Abstract:

[Objective] Explore the possible innovation directions for future Internet architecture based on the idea of coexistence and integration of multi-dimensional cyberspace. [Methods] On the basis of the coexistence of multi-identifier, the interaction and cooperation between polymorphic networks, and the compatibility and expansibility of diversified service styles, this paper summarizes several features the Internet should have in the future and analyzes the key technologies as well as their difficulties, after which the corresponding goals and theoretical framework are put forward. [Results] By discussing the basic architecture and the core mechanism of the future Internet under the theory of coexistence and integration of multi-dimensional cyberspace, the architecture of smart integrated networking is proposed, which would be considered as a new idea for innovation and breakthrough of Internet technologies. [Conclusions] Despite the proposed design of coexistence and integration of multi-dimensional cyberspace conforms to the developing trend of Internet technology, its actual deployment as well as the performance evaluation still needs further discussion and study.

Key words: future Internet, multi-dimensional cyberspace, coexistence, smart integrated networking
