This talk presents an approach for providing Spontaneous Virtual
Networks (SpoVNets) that enable flexible, adaptive, and spontaneous
provisioning of application-oriented and network-oriented services
on top of heterogeneous networks. SpoVNets supply new and uniform
communication abstractions for future Internet applications so
applications can make use of advanced services not supported by
today's Internet. We expect that many functions, which are
currently provided by SpoVNet on the application layer will become
an integral part of future networks. Thus, SpoVNet will
transparently use advanced services from the underlying network
infrastructure as they become available (e.g., QoS-support in access
networks or multicast in certain ISPs), enabling a seamless
transition from current to future genera-tion networks without
modifying the applications.
