In this document, “an initial specification and a proof of concept implementation” of the techniques proposed in the previous document, “draft specification”, are presented. The goal is to show how the proposed techniques in the previous document can be implemented in RINA as a proof of concept, what their performance improvement is over other similar methods (if applicable), and what future directions are. The activities performed in D3.2 are centered around three main areas of i) programmable congestion control; ii) unification of connection-oriented and connectionless resource allocation in support of multiple levels of service; and iii) topological addressing to bound routing table sizes. This document also specifies the investigation results of these techniques as some initial policies in RINA.... read more

The purpose of the work carried out within the context of D6.1 has been to integrate the different software components developed by PRISTINE partners over the IRATI RINA implementation during the first iteration of the project, thus enabling the experimentation activities carried out by T6.2. PRISTINE has built over the basic IRATI stack in three main directions:

Designing a Software Development Kit (SDK) to facilitate the programmability of the IRATI RINA implementation; enabling the development of pluggable policies that tailor the behavior of the different IPC Process components. The initial work on the SDK has been reported as part of deliverable [D23].... read more

This deliverable describes the initial version of the Software Development Kit (SDK) for the open source RINA implementation called IRATI. T2.3 has performed an initial review of the open IRATI software, defined a framework that allows to plug and unplug developer-defined policies through a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), designed mechanisms and procedures that allow for the insertion and removal of such policies at run-time and finally implemented the APIs for a subset of the policies available in the DIF (the subset of APIs implemented has been chosen based on the research and experimentation needs of the WP3, WP4 and WP5 partners).... read more

Simulation often serves for validating and verifying new technologies, which do not have yet implementation. Simulation also finds weak-points and drawbacks during test runs and subsequently allows one to enhance development process based on feedbacks. Hence, the implementation of the Recursive Internet Architecture Simulator (RINASim) is a natural step to support the design and development of the RINA SDK. This document introduces RINASim implemented as a framework for the OMNeT++ discrete event simulator. This framework allows the creation of simulation experiments to study RINA mechanisms and policies as well as possible RINA applications. The document consists of an installation walk-through, a high-level concept introduction, key components description and a demonstration of topologies delineation.

This deliverable is an update on the progress of the PRISTINE Distributed Management System (DMS). It is broken down into several sections which provide more detail on the strands that need to be woven together to make the Distributed Management System (DMS) a functioning reality. It begins with an overview of the DMS architecture, which outlines the major components, and how they work together to form the DMS.... read more

The RINA Workshop is an annually organised event, allowing researchers interested in the Recursive InterNetwork Architecture to present their work and discuss advances relating to their research. This year (2015), the workshop is co-organised by the GN3+ Open Call project IRINA and the FP7 ICT project PRISTINE.

All the presentations are available online

This document, D4.1, is the result of WP4 activities and is a key deliverable of the project. A high-level security functional architecture is defined that identifies the key functional blocks designed to offer secure data delivery across RINA infrastructure. The functional decomposition of the architecture identifies and details the various internal RINA functions embedded in Inter Process Communication (IPC) processes, and Distributed Application Facilities (DAFs)/ Distributed IPC Facilities (DIFs) that support the network in secure delivery of data.... read more

Preceding the initial specification and proof of concept implementation of techniques to enhance performance and resource utilization in networks that is due in month 16, this document outlines a “draft specification” of these techniques (a technical description of the developments that are planned for / have just started in this work package). Following the three tasks in WP3, there is a chapter for each of the respective developments: i) programmable congestion control; ii) unification of connection-oriented and connectionless resource allocation in support of multiple levels of service; iii) topological addressing to bound routing table sizes.... read more

The D5.1 has a focus on Network Management (NM) which refers to the activities, methods, procedures, and tools that pertain to the operation, administration, maintenance, and provisioning of networked systems.In RINA, network management is preformed by a DIF Management System (DMS). The common elements of such a system are the focus of this document. D5.1 Common elements of the management framework

D2.2 reports on a review of the RINA specifications that are relevant to the technological areas addressed in PRISTINE (congestion control, routing, resource allocation, authentication, access control, encryption, security coordination, configuration management and performance management) in order to spot any limitation towards the project’s objectives.
