A New Intelligent Generation for Internet Networks

This paper introduces new concepts to be applied for future Internet generations to better manage, react and control the network. These concepts are based on the intelligence aspect and the policy-based networking management paradigm. We first describe a policy-based networking management environment and some new protocols allowing an easy control of the QoS and the mobility. Then, we describe the Internet Third Generation (13) platform that is our suggestion for an intelligent agent-based implementation of the policy based networking management.
