FIRST: Korean Future Internet Testbed for Media-Oriented Service Overlay Network Architecture

Abstract

The Future Internet Research for Sustainable Testbed (FIRST) is an experimental project in South Korea aimed at creating future internet platforms and investigating innovative ideas on developed platforms. The primary goal of the project is research and development for a media-oriented service overlay network architecture. From 2009 to 2014, dynamic media-oriented service composition technologies using virtualized network environments will be constructed, and results will be shared globally. In this paper, we explained the motivation for the FIRST project, and introduced the project itself.
