Fog-enabled Edge Learning for Cognitive Content-Centric Networking in 5G
By caching content at network edges close to the users, the content-centric
networking (CCN) has been considered to enforce efficient content retrieval and
distribution in the fifth generation (5G) networks. Due to the volume,
velocity, and variety of data generated by various 5G users, an urgent and
strategic issue is how to elevate the cognitive ability of the CCN to realize
context-awareness, timely response, and traffic offloading for 5G applications.
In this article, we envision that the fundamental work of designing a cognitive
CCN (C-CCN) for the upcoming 5G is exploiting the fog computing to
associatively learn and control the states of edge devices (such as phones,
vehicles, and base stations) and in-network resources (computing, networking,
and caching). Moreover, we propose a fog-enabled edge learning (FEL) framework
for C-CCN in 5G, which can aggregate the idle computing resources of the
neighbouring edge devices into virtual fogs to afford the heavy delay-sensitive
learning tasks. By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to jointly
processing sensed environmental data, dealing with the massive content
statistics, and enforcing the mobility control at network edges, the FEL makes
it possible for mobile users to cognitively share their data over the C-CCN in
5G. To validate the feasibility of proposed framework, we design two
FEL-advanced cognitive services for C-CCN in 5G: 1) personalized network
acceleration, 2) enhanced mobility management. Simultaneously, we present the
simulations to show the FEL's efficiency on serving for the mobile users'
delay-sensitive content retrieval and distribution in 5G.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Communications Magzine, under review, Feb. 09, 201
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
Experiments with Subversion Over OpenNetInf and CCNx
We describe experiences and insights from adapting the Subversion version control system to use the network service of two information-centric networking (ICN) prototypes: OpenNetInf and CCNx. The evaluation is done using a local collaboration scenario, common in our own project work where a group of people meet and share documents through a Subversion repository.
The measurements show a performance benefit already with two clients in some of the studied scenarios, despite being done on un-optimised research prototypes. The conclusion is that ICN clearly is beneficial also for non mass-distribution applications
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
