ICN-OMF: A control, management framework for Information-Centric Network testbed

A publisher/subscriber model dominates today's Internet usage behavior instead of a location-based host access. Along with this stream, Information-Centric Network (ICN) is proposed for Future Internet Architecture to remedy the problems the current Internet is encountered. Although there are lots of research efforts on ICN, but still evaluation and validation of their proposals stay at simulation or emulation. Thus, this requires a scalable, real physical testbed for fast prototyping. In this paper, we develop and deploy ICN-OMF: a Control, Management Framework for a scalable CCN testbed, including controlling and management of multiple CCN nodes dispersed across geographically. To this end, we leverage, extend a Testbed Control, Measurement and Management Framework (OMF) and an overlay. We believe experimenters can utilize this framework to validate and evaluate their ideas in more convenience.
