Abstract:
The Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm is expected to be one of the major innovation of the Future Internet An ICN can be characterized by some key components like: (i) the content-centric request/reply paradigm for data distribution, (ii) route-by-name operations, and (iii) in-network caching. In this paper we focus on a framework for ICN called CONET (COntent NETwork) and in particular on a solution devised under this framework called coCONET. coCONET characteristics make it suitable for deployment in accordance to the Software Defined Networks (SDN) philosophy. In this paper, we will describe how coCONET can be implemented over an OpenFlow (the most popular SDN instantiation, to date) network and how OpenFlow should be modified to better suit the operations of coCONET and, more in general, of ICN solutions.
