“…A particularly hot research trend over the last few years has been trying to envision novel directions for the long-term evolution of the Internet, usually named Future Internet [1]. Several research visions and approaches have been proposed, ranging from novel, disruptive architectural solutions [2,3], to new paradigms incorporating mobile networks as key elements [4], to approaches where the cyber and the physical world blur in a so-called cyberphysical confluence [5]. From this perspective, online social networks (henceforth OSN) rightly deserve particular attention.…”

“…Aggregating traffic based on information semantics requires the ability to represent the data properties and characteristics in organized structures. In this context, ICN architectures such as PURSUIT [1], [9], CCN [2] and DONA [3] offer flexible aggregation of information at different based on different semantics. In particular, the PURSUIT architecture allows any information semantic to be aggregated within multiple hierarchical, as well as multi-homed, data structures that can be published by any entity in the network (i.e.…”

Information-centric networking (ICN) facilitates content identification in networks and offers parametric representation of content semantics. This paper proposes an ICN/WDM network architecture that uses these features to offer superior network utilization, in terms of performance and power consumption. The architecture introduces an ICN publish/subscribe communication approach to the wavelength layer, whereby content is aggregated according to its popularity rank into wavelength-size groups that can be published and subscribed to by multiple nodes. Consequently, routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms benefit from anycast to identify multiple sources of aggregate content and allow optimization of the source selection of light paths. A power-aware algorithm, maximum degree of connectivity, has been developed with the objective of exploiting this flexibility to address the tradeoff between power consumption and network performance. The algorithm is also applicable to IP architectures, albeit with less flexibility. Evaluation results indicate the superiority of the proposed ICN architecture, even when utilizing conventional routing methods, compared with its IP counterpart. The results further highlight the performance improvement achieved by the proposed algorithm, compared with the conventional RWA methods, such as shortest-path first fit.Index Terms-Information-centric networking, traffic engineering, multilayer network architecture, routing and wavelength assignment.

“…The envisioned strategy includes the deployment of gateways at the edges of IP networks, to map IP-based protocols to ICN semantics, whilst supporting ICN in the network core. The network core design subsequently builds on SDN primitives to enable an IP/backwards-compatible architecture utilizing the PURSUIT [2] publish/subscribe communication paradigm.

“…The aim is to deploy and manage an ICN network over the legacy infrastructure without disrupting existing protocols and applications i.e., nodes will continue to support already running IP services. The ICN network consists of nodes that follow the PURSUIT architecture [2] 1 , supporting an ICN publish/subscribe paradigm. The ICN network requires the deployment of centralized network management entities, which implement rendezvous, topology and resource management.…”

Abstract-Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as an interesting approach to overcome many of the limitations of legacy IP-based networks. However, the drastic changes to legacy infrastructure required to realise an ICN have significantly hindered its adoption by network operators. As a result, alternative deployment strategies are investigated, with SoftwareDefined Networking (SDN) arising as a solution compatible with legacy infrastructure, thus opening new possibilities for integrating ICN concepts in operators' networks. This paper discusses the seamless integration of these two architectural paradigms and suggests a scalable and dynamic network topology bootstrapping and management framework to deploy and operate ICN topologies over SDN-enabled operator networks. We describe the designed protocol and supporting mechanisms, as well as the minimum required implementation to realize this inter-operability. A proof-of-concept prototype has been implemented to validate the feasibility of the approach. Results show that topology bootstrapping time is not significantly affected by the topology size, substantially facilitating the intelligent management of an ICN-enabled network. I. MOTIVATIONInformation-centric networking (ICN) and software defined networking (SDN) have emerged to address the rapid increase in traffic demands and operational requirements of business applications. However, the majority of ICN propositions suggest replacing legacy network protocols and infrastructure with information-centric alternatives. This brings severe barriers to the adoption of the ICN paradigm, as network operators resist such costly and disruptive changes. On the other hand, SDN builds on backward compatibility, facilitating adoption by network and service providers, which have already started incorporating SDN capabilities into their networks. The emergence of SDN creates new opportunities for deploying the novel routing mechanisms brought by the ICN paradigm, bringing its adoption by Internet stakeholders closer to reality.Focusing on backward compatibility, POINT [1] takes an alternative migration path that suggests the realization of legacy IP services on top of ICN and enabling the network operators to benefit from ICN core functions e.g., multicast and in-network caching. The envisioned strategy includes the deployment of gateways at the edges of IP networks, to map IP-based protocols to ICN semantics, whilst supporting ICN in the network core. The network core design subsequently builds on SDN primitives to enable an IP/backwards-compatible architecture utilizing the PURSUIT [2] publish/subscribe communication paradigm. SDN switching [3] is employed for the support of a source-routing forwarding mechanism [4], enabling stateless, fast and scalable content forwarding. This allows the seamless deployment of ICN topologies over SDN networks and opens a potential migration path for ICN from Internet stakeholders.In this context, support for this transparent ICN operation heavily depends on the appropriate conf...
