• Layering unsuitable for quantum internet due to entanglement’s non‑local, stateful nature. • Dynamic composition introduces distributed orchestration fabric driven by node local state and in‑band control. • Each node runs Dynamic Kernel building PoA of candidate steps to fulfill service intent. • Quantum packets carry meta‑header with service intent and append‑only stamps, enabling local PoA construction. • Local commits form network‑wide DAG certifying end‑to‑end service without global synchronization. • Design enforces order via certification, ensuring coherence between entanglement evolution and protocol logic.
Article Summaries:
- The paper proposes a quantum‑native Internet protocol suite that replaces the classical layered architecture with a dynamic composition model. Each node runs a Dynamic Kernel that builds a local Plan of Actions (PoA) to advance a service intent and executes it by composing atomic micro‑protocols into context‑aware meta‑protocols. Quantum packets carry a meta‑header with the intent and an append‑only list of action‑commit stamps, which successive nodes use to construct their PoAs. These local commits collectively form a network‑wide directed acyclic graph that certifies end‑to‑end service fulfillment without global synchronization. The design enforces order through certification, embeds procedural control in the packet, and remains modular, scalable, and optionally steered by control‑plane hints.
