The Road Ahead for Networking: A Survey on ICN-IP Coexistence Solutions
In recent years, the current Internet has experienced an unexpected paradigm
shift in the usage model, which has pushed researchers towards the design of
the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm as a possible replacement of
the existing architecture. Even though both Academia and Industry have
investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of ICN, achieving the complete
replacement of the Internet Protocol (IP) is a challenging task.
Some research groups have already addressed the coexistence by designing
their own architectures, but none of those is the final solution to move
towards the future Internet considering the unaltered state of the networking.
To design such architecture, the research community needs now a comprehensive
overview of the existing solutions that have so far addressed the coexistence.
The purpose of this paper is to reach this goal by providing the first
comprehensive survey and classification of the coexistence architectures
according to their features (i.e., deployment approach, deployment scenarios,
addressed coexistence requirements and architecture or technology used) and
evaluation parameters (i.e., challenges emerging during the deployment and the
runtime behaviour of an architecture). We believe that this paper will finally
fill the gap required for moving towards the design of the final coexistence
architecture.Comment: 23 pages, 16 figures, 3 table
Content-Centric Networking at Internet Scale through The Integration of Name Resolution and Routing
We introduce CCN-RAMP (Routing to Anchors Matching Prefixes), a new approach
to content-centric networking. CCN-RAMP offers all the advantages of the Named
Data Networking (NDN) and Content-Centric Networking (CCNx) but eliminates the
need to either use Pending Interest Tables (PIT) or lookup large Forwarding
Information Bases (FIB) listing name prefixes in order to forward Interests.
CCN-RAMP uses small forwarding tables listing anonymous sources of Interests
and the locations of name prefixes. Such tables are immune to Interest-flooding
attacks and are smaller than the FIBs used to list IP address ranges in the
Internet. We show that no forwarding loops can occur with CCN-RAMP, and that
Interests flow over the same routes that NDN and CCNx would maintain using
large FIBs. The results of simulation experiments comparing NDN with CCN-RAMP
based on ndnSIM show that CCN-RAMP requires forwarding state that is orders of
magnitude smaller than what NDN requires, and attains even better performance
