New topic in area of information and communication technologies is further evolution of NGN (Next Generation Networks) technologies towards Future Networks. There are several aspects that are influencing actual IMS based NGN architecture to enhance additional functionalities for next generation of multimedia services. Rapid development of internet services and content delivery services over heterogeneous networks are changing requirements from different aspects like additional functionalities, mobility, virtualization and sharing of resources, security, simplification of architecture and flexibility in control models with context awareness.

Recently ongoing discussions about changes of architectures of Internet (Future Internet) also in the area of telecommunications for Future Networks (FN) are running in research projects as well as standardization (ITU-T, ETSI).
