“…In ICN, all elements in the network are considered entities, including devices, services, and content. Network services are assigned identifiers, such as in-network caching service [27] and multicast service [35]. Drawing on the experience of this, we consider using user bandwidth for ICN transmission as a service and allocate corresponding UBSID.…”

Idle bandwidth resources are inefficiently distributed among different users. Currently, the utilization of user bandwidth resources mostly relies on traditional IP networks, implementing relevant techniques at the application layer, which creates scalability issues and brings additional system overheads. Information-Centric Networking (ICN), based on the idea of separating identifiers and locators, offers the potential to aggregate idle bandwidth resources from a network layer perspective. This paper proposes a method for utilizing user bandwidth resources in ICN; specifically, we treat the use of user bandwidth resources as a service and assign service IDs (identifiers), and when network congestion (the network nodes are overloaded) occurs, the traffic can be routed to the user side for forwarding through the ID/NA (Network Address) cooperative routing mechanism of ICN, thereby improving the scalability of ICN transmission and the utilization of underlying network resources. To enhance the willingness of users to contribute idle bandwidth resources, we establish a secure and trustworthy bandwidth trading market using blockchain technology. We also design an incentive mechanism based on the Proof-of-Network-Contribution (PoNC) consensus algorithm; users can “mine” by forwarding packets. The experimental results show that utilizing idle bandwidth can significantly improve the scalability of ICN transmission under experimental conditions, bringing a maximum throughput improvement of 19.4% and reducing the packet loss rate. Compared with existing methods, using ICN technology to aggregate idle bandwidth for network transmission will have a more stable and lower latency, and it brings a maximum utilization improvement of 13.7%.

“…Therefore, the construction and maintenance mechanism of multicast trees is important for multicast emulation. According to the type of multicast tree established, multicast routing protocols can be categorized as a Source-Based Tree (SBT) or Shared Tree (ST)-based [32,33]. Both SBT and ST use the shortest paths between the source or core and receivers to form the multicast tree.…”

Network layer multicast research is an important field of network research that requires simulators or emulators to support Software-Defined Networking (SDN) as well as to provide a specific structure at the network layer to facilitate packet forwarding, such as a multicast tree. The existing emulation platforms cannot effectively support the emulation of certain key multicast technologies, such as the Grafting Point (GP)-selection method and Rendezvous Point (RP)-selection method, for the following reasons: First, the programmable data plane of the existing emulation platform has many defects, such as the inability to process packet scheduling tasks, the prohibition of dynamic memory allocation and loops with unknown iteration counts, which make it difficult to deploy complex multicast protocols and algorithms. Secondly, at present, no emulation platform integrates network layer multicast emulation functions. As a result, users need to develop the multicast tree construction and maintenance mechanism in advance, which makes experiments laborious. To solve the above problems, based on NS4, we designed a multicast emulation platform, M-Emu. M-Emu presents a Service-Forwarding Architecture, which enables the data plane to deploy arbitrary complex protocols and algorithms. Based on the Service-Forwarding Architecture, M-Emu integrates a Multicast-Emulation Framework, which has a complete multicast tree construction and maintenance mechanism. We explain in detail how the various parts of M-Emu cooperate to complete the multicast emulation with an example and prove that M-Emu is efficient in CPU and memory consumption, etc., through a large number of experiments.

“…Currently, although numerous protocols and architectures have been proposed to support ICN mobility [2,3], few of them have been implemented in commercial networks. ICN can be essentially classified into two kinds according to the implementation method [4]. One of the ICN solutions adopts clean-slate implementation, such as contentcentric networking (CCN) [5], named data networking (NDN) [6], and publish-subscribe such as content-centric networking (CCN) [5], named data networking (NDN) [6], and publish-subscribe Internet technology (PURSUIT) [7].…”

Information-centric networking (ICN) separates the identifier and locator of network entities, providing a natural advantage in supporting mobility. To gain the advantage of ICN to support mobility, an urgent challenge is the problem of practical implementation with performance optimization. Software-defined networking (SDN) can be regarded as infrastructure to implement ICN mobility. However, it is difficult for the centralized SDN controller to quickly process mobile signaling. Therefore, this paper proposes enhanced programmable data plane supporting ICN mobility. By offloading mobility-related control plane functions from the controller to the data plane, the data plane can locally process mobile signaling without interacting with the controller. We propose an offloading mechanism for control plane functions, based on a rule table, where the controller authorizes the data plane to process the mobile signaling by loading the programmable rule table to data plane’s control element, and the control element intercepts the mobile signaling, matches the predefined rule table, and executes a series of application logic actions. In addition, we propose an improved SmartSplit algorithm to manage the rule table and speed up packets matching the rule table. Based on Intel’s Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), we implement the enhanced programmable data plane. Our experimental results prove that the proposed enhanced programmable data plane has a stronger ability to process mobile signaling and reduce latency.
