Design and Implementation of an Open Source Framework and Prototype For Named Data Networking-Based Edge Cloud Computing System

Abstract

Named data networking (NDN) and edge cloud computing (ECC) are emerging technologies that are considered as the most representative technologies for the future Internet. Both technologies are the promising enabler for the future Internet such as fifth generation (5G) and beyond which requires fast information response time. We believe that clear benefits can be achieved from the interplay of NDN and ECC and enables future network technology to be much more flexible, secure and efficient. In this paper, therefore, we integrate NDN with ECC in order to achieve fast information response time. Our framework is based on N-Tier architecture and comprises of three main Tiers. The NDN is located at the Tier1 (Things/end devices) and comprises of all the basic functionalities that connect Internet of Things (IoT) devices with Tier 2 (Edge Computing), where we have deployed our Edge node application. The Tier 2 is then further connected with Tier 3 (Cloud Computing), where our Cloud node application is deployed at multiple hops on the Microsoft Azure Cloud machine located in Virginia, WA, USA. We implement an NDN-based ECC framework and the outcomes are evaluated through testbed and simulations in terms of interest aggregation, round trip time (RTT), service lookup time with single query lookup time and with various traffic loads (loadbased lookup time) from the IoT devices. Our measurements show that enabling NDN with edge computing is a promising approach to reduce latency and the backbone network traffic and capable of processing large amounts of data quickly and delivering the results to the users in real time.

An Efficient Computation Offloading Strategy with Mobile Edge Computing for IoT

“…In the multi-population evolutionary operation, we assume that populations are independent of each other in selection, crossover, and mutation operation. So, for each population, we evolve individuals according to the selection, crossover, and mutation operations described above, and get a new generation of population (lines [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. We control population connections and coevolution through population migration.…”

“…MEC is a promising enabler of future Internet such as the fifth generation (5G) [ 14 ], enabling multiple future 5G applications and network services such as IoT applications, haptic Internet, AR/VR use cases, or remote driving [ 15 ]. Computation-intensive applications, such as AR and VR, require a lot of computation in a very short period of time, which need very high computing power.…”

NINQ: Name-Integrated Query Framework for Named-Data Networking of Things

“…In AR, real-time feedback for the end user is required and, to fulfil this requirement, there is a need to process huge amounts of data very quickly. To support these kinds of services, edge computing is a promising concept in which highly powerful devices are placed near the end user to process large data quickly and provide this real-time feedback [51,52]. There is a need to further explore the proposed NINQ framework within the edge computing paradigm to potentially support AR-based services.…”

An Efficient Secured PIT Management and Attack Detection Strategy Enhanced by CSOA-DCNN Algorithm in a Named Data Networking (NDN)

“…As in other content-centric proposals, NDN packets have all inclusive one of kind names, with the goal that Data packets can be gotten, cached, and redistributed in the network [2]. In NDN, the forwarding process, the Pending Interest Table (PIT) is one of the important components [3,4]. Showing up Interest packets are forwarded to the next-hop dependent on a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) [5] lookup only if the PIT finds no pending Interest packet with the same name.…”
