Information Centric Networking that uses content name instead of IP address as routing identifier can handle challenges such as traffic explosion and user mobility, but it also suffers from scalability and incompatibility problems. In this paper by combining the concept of software defined networking and Internet end to end arguments, we propose a wide area deployable software defined information centric networking service model named SD-ICN. SD-ICN employs a dual space structure that separates edge service network and core transmission network. The enhanced SDN techniques are used in edge service network in order to implement intelligent data routing and caching, while traditional IP technique is reserved in core transmission network so as to provide wide area high speed data transmission. Besides, a distributed name resolution system based on the cooperation of different controllers is also presented. The prototype experiments in our campus network show that SD-ICN can be deployed in a scalable and incremental way with no modification of the core network, and can support typical communication modes such as multicast, mobility, multihoming, load balancing, and multipath data transmission effectively.

ICN(Information-Centric Network)은 인터넷 상에 존재하는 방대한 정보를 효율적으로 이용하기 위하여 기존의 인터넷 통신 패러다임을 정보 기반의 통신 방법으로 전환하기 위한 차세대 인터넷 통신 기술이다. 따라서 ICN은 호스트 주소를 중심으로 통신 절차에 집중하던 기존 인터넷 통신 기술과는 달리 인터넷 상에 존재하는 모든 것을 정보라는 개념으로 정의함으로써 각 정보를 이용하기 위한 통신 목적에 집중한다. 이를 위하여 ICN에서는 각 정보에 이름을 붙여 사용하는 이름 기반 라우팅(NbR, Name-based Routing) 방법을 사용하며 ICN에 참여하는 모든 라우터는 각 라우터 마다 정보를 공유할 수 있도록 물리적인 스토리지를 가지는 특징이 있다. ICN에서의 NbR 방법은 각 라우터에서 보유하고 있는 스토리지에 도달하는 방법에 따라 one-phase routing과 two-phase routing으로 나뉜다. 그러나 현재 제시되고 있는 ICN에서의 NbR 방법은 ICN이 가지고 있는 고유한 특징을 반영하지 못하고 있기 때문에 많은 문제점을 발생시키고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ICN을 위한 효율적인 NbR 방법을 제시하기 위하여 정보에 대한 캐싱, 접근 시간, 분산, 이동성, 확장성, 배포 측면에서 NbR 이슈들을 점검하고, ICN을 위해 제안된 기존 방법들에 대한 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 분석된 내용을 기반으로 ICN에서의 효율적인 NbR 기법에 대한 연구 방향을 제시하였다.

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Information-Centric Networking (ICN) are essential network architectures for the future Internet. The advantages of MEC and ICN such as computation and storage capabilities at the edge of the network, in-network caching and named-data communication paradigm can greatly improve the quality of video streaming applications. However, the packet loss in wireless network environments still affects the video streaming performance and the existing loss recovery approaches in ICN does not exploit the capabilities of MEC. This paper proposes a Deep Learning based Loss Recovery Mechanism (DL-LRM) for video streaming over MEC based ICN. Different with existing approaches, the Forward Error Correction (FEC) packets are generated at the edge of the network, which dramatically reduces the workload of core network and backhaul. By monitoring network states, our proposed DL-LRM controls the FEC request rate by deep reinforcement learning algorithm. Considering the characteristics of video streaming and MEC, in this paper we develop content caching detection and fast retransmission algorithm to effectively utilize resources of MEC. Experimental results demonstrate that the DL-LRM is able to adaptively adjust and control the FEC request rate and achieve better video quality than the existing approaches.

With a huge demand for replicated content on the Internet, a new networking paradigm called information-centric networking (ICN) has been introduced for efficient content dissemination. In ICN, named content is distributed over the network cache and it is accessed by name instead of a location identifier. These aspects allow users to retrieve content from any of the nodes having replicas, and consequently 1) network resources are more efficiently utilized by avoiding redundant transmission and 2) more scalable services are provided by distributing server loads. However, in-network caching in ICN brings about a new type of security issues, called content poisoning attacks, where fabricated content is located in the network cache and interferes with the normal behavior of the system. In this paper, we look into the problems of content poisoning in ICN and discuss security architectures against them. In particular, we reconsider the state-of-the-art schemes from the perspective of feasibility, and propose a practical security architecture.

With the increasing number of the wireless and mobile networks, the way that people use the Internet has changed substantively. Wireless multimedia services, such as wireless video streaming, mobile video game, and mobile voice over IP, will become the main applications of the future wireless Internet. To accommodate the growing volume of wireless data traffic and multimedia services, cognitive radio (CR) and Information-Centric Network (ICN) have been proposed to maximize the utilization of wireless spectrum and improve the network performance. Although CR and ICN have high potential significance for the future wireless Internet, few studies have been conducted on collaborative operations of CR and ICN. Due to the lack of infrastructure support in multi-hop ad hoc CR networks, the problem is more challenging for video streaming services. In this paper, we propose a Cross-layer Video Streaming Mechanism (CLISM) for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Information Centric Networks (CRAH-ICNs). The CLISM included two distributed schemes which are designed for the forwarding nodes and receiving nodes in CRAH-ICNs. With the cross-layer approach, the CLISM is able to self-adapt the variation of the link conditions without the central network controller. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CLISM efficiently adjust video transmission policy under various network conditions.

Due to an explosive growth in services running in different datacenters, there is need for service selection and routing to deliver user requests to the best service instance. In current solutions, it is generally the client that must first select a datacenter to forward the request to before an internal load-balancer of the selected datacenter can select the optimal instance. An optimal selection requires knowledge of both network and server characteristics, making clients less suitable to make this decision. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) research solved a similar selection problem for static data retrieval by integrating content delivery as a native network feature. We address the selection problem for services by extending the ICN-principles for services. In this paper we present Queue and Latency, a network-driven service selection algorithm which maps user demand to service instances, taking into account both network and server metrics. To reduce the size of service router forwarding tables, we present a statistical method to approximate an optimal load distribution with minimized router state required. Simulation results show that our statistical routing approach approximates the average system response time of source-based routing with minimized state in forwarding tables.

In-network caching is a key component of information-centric networking (ICN) for reducing content download time, network traffic, and server workload. Data center network (DCN) is an ideal candidate for applying the ICN design principles. In this paper, we have evaluated the effectiveness of caching placement and replacement in DCN with butterfly-topology. We also suggest a new cache placement policy based on the number of routing nodes (i.e., hop counts) through which travels the content. With a probability inversely proportional to the hop counts, the caching placement policy makes each routing node to cache content chunks. Simulation results lead us to conclude (i) cache placement policy is more effective for cache performance than cache replacement, (ii) the suggested cache placement policy has better caching performance for butterfly-type DCNs than the traditional caching placement policies such as ALWASYS and FIX(P), and (iii) high cache hit ratio does not always imply low average hop counts.

Information-centric networks operate under the assumption that all network components have built-in caching capabilities. Integrating the caching strategies of information centric networking (ICN) with wireless virtualization improves the gain of virtual infrastructure content caching. In this paper, we propose a framework for software-defined information centric virtualized wireless device-to-device (D2D) networks. Enabling D2D communications in virtualized ICN increases the spectral efficiency due to reuse and proximity gains while the software-defined network (SDN) as a platform also simplifies the computational overhead. In this framework, we propose a joint virtual resource and cache allocation solution for latency-sensitive applications in the next-generation cellular networks. As the formulated problem is NP-hard, we design low-complexity heuristic algorithms which are intuitive and efficient. In our proposed framework, different services can share a pool of infrastructure items. We evaluate our proposed framework and algorithm through extensive simulations. The results demonstrate significant improvements in terms of visiting latency, end user QoE, InP resource utilization and MVNO utility gain.

정보 중심 네트워킹 (Information Centric Networking)은 콘텐츠 전송 방식을 바꾸고 있다. IP 및 호스트 기반 네트워킹에서 콘텐츠 기반 네트워킹 시나리오로의 전환이 날로 증가하고 있고 ICN의 다른 프레임워크에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되었다. 캐싱은 ICN의 중요한 부분이며 많은 연구자들은 데이터 캐싱을 위한 다양한 방법을 제안했다. 네트워크 장치와 같은 중간 장치에 데이터를 캐싱하고 사용자 장치를 경우에 따라 사용하면 콘텐츠 제작자의 역할뿐 아니라 콘텐츠 보안 문제가 큰 관심사가 된다. 현재 CCN (Content Centric Networking) 모델을 기반으로 하는 수정된 ICN의 새로운 아키텍처가 이 연구에서 제시되었다. 이 아키텍처는 주로 실시간으로 콘텐츠 제공에 콘텐츠 제작자를 참여시키는데 중점을 둔다. 제안된 새 아키텍처는 CCN 아키텍처에 대한 보다 나은 보안 측면을 제공하고 보안 외에도 TCP / IP 기반 아키텍처를 대체하기 위해 CCN 아키텍처의 적용 가능성 문제를 고려하고 있다. 제안된 새 아키텍처의 효율성은 기존의 아키텍처와 매우 유사한 수준의 효율성을 보여주고 컨텐트 전달에 대한 응답 시간을 기반으로 이전 CCN 아키텍처와 비교하였다. 이 논문에서 현재 아키텍처에 비해 제안된 새로운 아키텍처의 다양한 이점을 제시한다.
