Abstract: As the integration of services is taking place in the telecommunication industry, the web
is also gradually evolving from the “version 2.0 era”, which is characterized by content
sharing, to the “version 3.0 era” that emphasizes heavily on live and real time contents
with quality of service (QoS) guarantees expected. To support the kind of end-to-end QoS guarantees required by the web 3.0 era, either fundamental changes needed to be made on the current Internet infrastructure, or a new networking concepts are needed.
Service Overlay Network (SON) is one such new networking concepts. By building an overlay network on the top of the current Internet, the SON is able to provide robust end-to-end QoS supports without the need of making any changes to the current Internet. In this study we investigate the various issues related to the design of the SON network.
