Performance evaluation of NovaGenesis information-centric network

Content distribution is one of the main applications in current Internet and has emerged to allow access to content by their names, independently of location. Network caching, content replication, name-based routing/forwarding and efficient content distribution are main requirements in contemporary architectures, including 5G, Internet of things and future Internet. In this paper, we address these challenges in the context of a novel architecture called NovaGenesis (NG). Our approach integrates information-centric networking (ICN), service-oriented architecture, “semantically rich” orchestration (coordination) and identifier/locator splitting to provide efficient and secure content distribution. To proof-the-concepts behind our integrated solution, we also designed and implemented a distributed, policy-driven, content management application. We report promising experimental results, which put NovaGenesis as an alternative to current ICN architectures.
