Today's Internet Service Providers (ISPs) serve two roles: managing their network infrastructure and providing (arguably limited) services to end users. We argue that coupling these roles impedes the deployment of new protocols and architectures, and that the future Internet should support two separate entities: infrastructure providers (who manage the physical infrastructure) and service providers (who deploy network protocols and offer end-to-end services). We present a high-level design for Cabo, an architecture that enables this separation; we also describe challenges associated with realizing this architecture.
The initial model proposed in REF decouples the traditional Internet Service Provider role into two roles: the role of infrastructure provider (InP) managing the physical infrastructure; and the role of service provider (SP) creating VNs by aggregating resources from multiple infrastructure providers and offering end-to-end services.
