Workshop SCOPE

The core principle of IP addressing, routing and management in the Internet has remained stable for 50 years. However, the Internet is under significant strain during its evolution due to its scale and the increasingly demanding services it is called to support.
Both inside and across domains addressing and routing have faced many challenges. Supporting alternative addressing semantics beyond network locations and the additional challenges related to the emerging 6G requirements of unified integration of network segments and domains as a compute and connectivity continuum are areas of investigation for future routing solutions. The innovative technologies lead to extra business values with new capabilities, increased flexibilities, efficient utilization of infrastructure resources and better quality of service.
Network management is about administering networks and services with direct support for all their operations. It aims to integrate fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management in the networking systems and leverage the self-management, automation and autonomic capabilities enabling unprecedented abstraction, disaggregation, operation, integration, and programmability in network infrastructures and services.
Although the two areas were developed relatively independently in the past 50 years, there is an urgent and critical requirement to break the boundaries and increase direct interactions between different IP infrastructure, management systems, and application domains capable of a unified service provision beyond best effort across heterogeneous communication and computing environments.
