Recently, the weight of high-quality multimedia contents is explosively growing out of the network total traffic. This steep increase of media contents to require huge traffic does not contribute to the generation of revenue streams and it leads to the situation of dumb pipe to trouble network providers into the big burden of investment on the network expansion. Accordingly, the transfer to the smart network to enable the effective delivery of large-scale media is imminently challenging issue to the network providers to seek the profitable business. The smart network revolves around the technologies to enhance end-to-end quality and fair usage with network resources and to optimize the traffic for the contents delivery over the concept of Content-Centric Network. In this paper, we propose an architecture and fundamental functions suitable for the smart network and suggest improved test results through the construction of an experimental network.
