In many Future Internet visions, a node is assumed
to be connected to a multitude of possibly virtualized networks,
each being optimized for a specific application. Within such a
network, application-tailored network architectures and protocols
provide communication services between nodes. In order to
handle such a large number of different architectures and protocols,
new management paradigms need to be considered, allowing
for a flexible, extensible, and manageable Future Internet. In
this paper, we propose a node management for such a Future
Internet which masters its complexity by using a hierarchical
management structure. The proposed hierarchical node management,
amongst other features, autonomously adapts protocols to
varying network conditions, manages resources across protocols
in different network architectures and incorporates user policies
into management decisions.
