Advanced Network, Monitoring and Control e-mail: [email protected] Xi'an, China e-mail: [email protected] Abstract—Network system structure is the basis of network theory, which requires the establishment of a link before data communication. The design of network model can change the transmission and the withdrawal of the link after the network structure from the root, solve the deficiency of the transmission is completed. It solves the problem of original network system, and meet the new demand of the high-quality real-time media communication caused by the future network. TCP/IP as the core network technology is integration of three networks (communication network, successful, it has shortcomings but is a reasonable existence, broadcasting network and Internet) from the underlying will continue to play a role. Considering the compatibility with structure of the network, realizes the long-distance and the original network, the new network model needs to be large-traffic data transmission of the future network, and lays compatible with the existing TCP/IP four-layer model, at the a solid foundation for the digital currency and virtual same time; it can provide a better technical system to currency of the Internet. The system framework is verified by implement the future network. Based on the Internet practical application. It have been deployed to verify the three-layer/four-layer hybrid architecture TCP/IP/M and compatibility and reliable transmission between IPV9 network ISO/IEC next-generation Internet standard solutions, this and the existing network, under the independent, reliable, paper proposes the IPV9 system architecture, which can secure and controllable network architecture, a new directly transmit audio and video data with three layers on the generation of master root server and 13 root domain name premise of not affecting the existing four-layer network servers. transmission.

NEW GENERATION NETWORK SYSTEM IPV9 other technical standards. By June 2016, the Ministry IPv9 protocol as one of the future network concepts, of Industry and Information Technology announced IETF proposed some basic dreams of IPv9 in 1994, the approval of the four standards of the IPV9 system. and looked forward to the idea of network in the 21st Through unremitting efforts in various aspects, the century. Such as: 1024-bit length address, direct IPV9 system mother root server, the main root server, routing and the 42 layer routing addressing method. and 13 root name servers named after N-Z letter have However, due to the lack of research results of basic been developed. theories, address stratification technology, high research and development costs, intellectual property II. THE DESIGN OF IPV9 ARCHITECTURE rights and other factors, the research publicly failed. In The conventional packet switching of TCP/IP 1997, the IPv9 working group was disbanded and protocol does not support real time application and intellectual property and patent results were not circuit switching application, that is, the transmission obtained. of sound or image by circuit in the four-layer protocol. TCP/IP is a connectionless unreliable packet protocol Inspired by IPv9, Chinese scholars have established with a maximum packet size of 1514 bytes. The main a new generation of network work expert teams. Based idea of IPV9 design is to combine the IP protocol of on the patent "Method of Using Whole Digital Code to TCP/IP with circuit switching, and make use of routers Assign Addresses for Computer", they have completed compatible with both protocols and a series of the development of a new generation of network protocols, so that the addresses of IPv4, IPv6 and IPV9 system after more than 20 years of research and can be used simultaneously on the Internet. development. The development of the system, its theory and practice has reflected the novelty and A. The hierarchy of IPV9 originality.

  • Connecting Computers with Packet Switching
    LECTURE 1 Connecting Computers with Packet Switching 1 This lecture discusses different ways of interconnecting links (of the same kind) to build a simple computer network. To achieve this task, we will use a device called a switch, and discuss several different ways of switching to move data across a network. We focus on packet switching, discussing its main ideas and principles. This lecture assumes that the reader is familiar with standard ways of communicating digital information (bits and link-layer frames) over a single link. Most networking texts cover this material in depth; we provide a short summary of the essential ideas in L0. ! 1.1 Interconnections The rather limited scope—in terms of physical distance, number of connected hosts, and amount of sustainable traffic—of single-link networks leads us to examine ways of inter- connecting single-link communication media together to form larger networks of comput- ers. We start by discussing a few different interconnection techniques. The fundamental problem is that the most obvious way to build a computer network—by connecting each pair of computers with a dedicated link—is both prohibitively expensive (because of the sheer number of links required, a number that grows quadratically with the network size) and technically challenging (because signals attenuate with distance, requiring ways to regenerate information across large distances). The solution to these problems is to de- velop ways to share links between different communicating nodes, and to regenerate the information being communicated as it travels across the network. The key component used for such interconnections is a switch, which is a specialized computing device that receives data frames (of bits) that arrive over links, processes them, and forwards them over one (or more) other links.

A critical step in this transition is the establishment of IP-to-IP interconnection arrangements permitting the exchange of voice- over-IP (VoIP) traffic in a manner that preserves the quality of service that consumers and businesses expect. This paper provides a basic primer on how voice service is provided by IP-networks and discusses the central elements of IP-to-IP interconnection. The ascendancy of IP networks is the architectural response to the growth of data communications, in particular the Internet. Although some voice services rely on the public Internet for transmission (a method commonly known as “over-the-top” VoIP), the Internet does not prioritize one packet over another; as a result, quality cannot be guaranteed for these services.
