“…Simulations of three different management strategies for low-latency content delivery show that such overlays can support thousands of member xTRs, support hundreds of thousands of end hosts, and deliver content at latencies close to unicast ones [CDM12]. It was also observed that high client churn has a limited impact on performance and management overhead.…”

Many of the video streaming applications in today's Internet involve the distribution of content from a CDN source to a large population of interested clients. However, widespread support of IP multicast is unavailable due to technical and economical reasons, leaving the floor to application layer multicast which introduces excessive delays for the clients and increased traffic load for the network. This paper is concerned with the introduction of an SDN-based framework that allows the network controller to not only deploy IP multicast between a source and subscribers, but also control, via a simple northbound interface, the distributed set of sources where multiple- description coded (MDC) video content is available. We observe that for medium to heavy network loads, relative to the state-of-the-art, the SDN-based streaming multicast video framework increases the PSNR of the received video significantly, from a level that is practically unwatchable to one that has good quality.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, First Workshop on Software-Defined Internets of the Future - WSDIF 2014.

“…Examples of such functions include support for IP multicast [35]- [37] and network virtualization within a data center environment [38] based on methods like NVGRE, VXLAN, GRE-in-UDP and GUE [39]. Li [40] surveys proposals to improve future scalability of the Internet, including the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) [41] which-besides helping with, e.g., route table scaling-can aid in overcoming ossification by, e.g., adding edge support for mobility and multicast [42] or enabling some form of multipath transport proxy [43], [44]. Network overlays have benefits (especially in transition to support new protocols), however, they hide the underlying network from the transport, impose homogeneity on a diverse network service and can be an obstacle to evolution of different network-transport interactions, which adds to ossification.…”

It is widely recognized that the Internet transport layer has become ossified, where further evolution has become hard or even impossible. This is a direct consequence of the ubiquitous deployment of middleboxes that hamper the deployment of new transports, aggravated further by the limited flexibility of the application programming interface (API) typically presented to applications. To tackle this problem, a wide range of solutions have been proposed in the literature, each aiming to address a particular aspect. Yet, no single proposal has emerged that is able to enable evolution of the transport layer. In this paper, after an overview of the main issues and reasons for transportlayer ossification, we survey proposed solutions and discuss their potential and limitations. The survey is divided into five parts, each covering a set of point solutions for a different facet of the problem space: 1) designing middlebox-proof transports; 2) signaling for facilitating middlebox traversal; 3) enhancing the API between the applications and the transport layer; 4) discovering and exploiting end-to-end capabilities; and 5) enabling user-space protocol stacks. Based on this analysis, we then identify further development needs toward an overall solution. We argue that the development of a comprehensive transport layer framework, able to facilitate the integration and cooperation of specialized solutions in an application-independent and flexible way, is a necessary step toward making the Internet transport architecture truly evolvable. To this end, we identify the requirements for such a framework and provide insights for its development.
