“…For our description, we represent the inter-domain hierarchy as a graph G(V, E). V is the set of nodes in the graph, with each node representing a distinct administrative domain or AS 4 . E is the set of edges in the graph, with each edge representing the inter-domain link that connects the corresponding domains.…”

“…These characteristics have been considered especially advantageous for the support of emerging Future Internet architectures. In the context of the relatively recent Information-Centric Networking paradigm [2], the network is responsible for locating and delivering the information objects requested by end-hosts, thus necessitating the availability of a scalable name resolution service e.g., [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. Considering that (a) the current number of unique web pages indexed by Google is greater than 1 trillion [9] and that (b) billions [10], [11] of devices (mobile phones, sensors, home appliances etc.)…”

Abstract-Overlay networks are widely used for locating and disseminating information by means of custom routing and forwarding on top of an underlying network. Distributed Hash Table (DHT) based overlays in particular, provide good scalability and load balancing properties. However, these come at the cost of inefficient routing, caused by the lack of adaptation to the underlying network, as DHTs often overlook physical network proximity, administrative boundaries and/or inter-domain routing policies. In this paper we show how to construct a DHT-based overlay network that takes all these aspects into account, so as to ease the global deployment of Future Internet architectures which require large-scale name resolution, such as Information-Centric Networking (ICN) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Based on the Pastry distributed object location and routing substrate and the Canon paradigm for multi-level DHTs, we developed H-Pastry, an overlay DHT scheme that harvests the scalability and load balancing features of DHTs, while also adapting to the underlying network topology, administrative structure and routing policies. We evaluate the performance characteristics of the proposed scheme through an extensive set of detailed simulations over realistic inter-network topologies. Our results show that HPastry substantially improves routing by reducing both overlay path stretch (by up to 55%) and routing policy violations (by up to 70%), compared to the Canonical (multi-level) Chord DHT. In addition, the design of H-Pastry keeps traffic within administrative boundaries as far as possible, reducing interdomain hops by up to 27% compared to Pastry, while also creating excellent opportunities for the support of caching and multicast.

“…Even though this information is obviously important for content providers (see Section II), it is hidden from them in most ICN designs. The reason is that user requests for content may be served by any intermediate node either through caching or multicast (i.e., CCN/NDN [5]), or it can be served by an ISP-operated name resolution system (i.e., DONA [9], PURSUIT [26], NetInf [27], COMET [23]). In both cases, the content provider is not involved in the name resolution procedure thus losing access to content access information.…”

“…To this end, we foresee two potential approaches. The first approach is tailored for architectures that decouple name resolution from routing and forwarding ( [9], [26], [27], [23]). This decoupling adheres to the "design for tussle" principle [29], thus enabling content providers to potentially establish an interface with the nameresolution system for logging purposes.…”

Abstract-The proposed shift from host-centric to information-centric networking (ICN) has triggered extensive research in the area of content naming. Efforts have so far focused on the scalability and security properties that can make content objects routable and self-certifying. In this paper, we argue that the information that is exposed through explicitly naming content objects has been overlooked, although several operational and performance issues depend on the information that a name holds. We therefore revisit content naming design decisions taking into account information exposure and deployability of the ICN paradigm.
