Abstract &   Background	Abstract In order to keep consistency and coherence of network’s development, the next-generation network does a lot of attempts to integrate the underlying network heterogeneity of existing communication infrastructure, support information for all areas, and ensure network management, controllability, and reliability. The paper analyzes the development direction of existing network and the next-generation network, and proposes the construction principle of the component based hierarchical reconfigurable networks. The reconfiguration principle, model, function entity cooperate scheme, and the specific implement scheme are introduced so that the autonomy, reactivity and initiative in the construct and reconfiguration process is ensured. Experiments prove the flexibility and scalability of the reconfigurable network. Keywords reconfigurable network; hierarchical; reconfiguration; components; model Background This research is supported by the National High-Technology Research and Development Program (863 Program) of China project (No.2008AA01A323) and the National Basic Research Program(973 Program) of China under grant No.2007CB307102. In order to keep consistency and coherence of network’s development, the next-generation network does a lot of attempts to integrate the underlying network heterogeneity of existing communication infrastructure, support information for all areas, and ensure network management, controllability, and reliability. Based on the research on the exist technology of the next-generation network and service providing-oriented thinking, this project works on the architecture of the reconfiguration network, which is integrated carrying for all kinds of current network traffic. This project also works on the reconfigurable routing and switching platform. In addition, based on reconfigurable service ability, the reconfiguration network architecture can supports most kinds of future network traffic. An important object of the project is to research into new service providing-oriented network architecture as well as construction technology, which can provide extended service ability for next generation network traffic. Furthermore, this architecture can break away from monopolization of traditional router factory, the third part factory only manufactory the network components as the standard. Achievements of this paper aim to solve the extended service ability providing.
