Heterogeneous Infrastructure
& Physical Layer

8. Principles for Meta Architecture
Network virtualization
Cross-layer communications  
Diverse end-to-end (IP or non-IP) arguments

9. Requirements Multiple architecture support
Network (router/host) virtualization, server clustering
Identity, Resource specification (Rspec)
Programmability
Architecture federation
Control and (distributed) management plane
