Abstract The development of the Internet during the last years has shown that it becomes harder to integrate new functionality in order to fulfill the demands of new applications and the capabilities of new transport technologies. Especially the core mechanisms (TCP/IP) are hard to change. Thus the development of a new Internet architecture has been discussed for some time now. In this work we present a service-oriented approach for a new network architecture. At first it is argued which kinds of flexibility should be provided by an architecture. Then it will be shown which common principles of service-orientation support this flexibility. Further we present technical considerations for implementing network functionality by services.
