Modeling the Data Object Routing in Data Aware Networking

Data Aware Networking (DAN) is one of the key technologies coined by the International Telecommunication for Technology. It aims to provide a system and method for managing data over the Internet. It also considers the needs of diverse users using the Internet and keeps track of their usage history to make the data proactive for them. Four key components of Data Aware networking include the documents called Data Objects which are the focal point of attention, authors who create the documents, publishers who will maintain the documents along with a catalog of documents and access rights, the End users who will be utilizing the documents in a sophisticate way provided by the concept of DAN. Considering the architecture and the way the data objects are published in data-aware networking, this paper aims to suggest a dynamic and sophisticated routing system that will study the needs of diverse users and attempt to route the data either in a proactive or reactive manner to suit the needs of the users. This paper also proposes routing algorithms to be utilized in data-aware networking for both reactive and proactive routing.
