Torsten Braun: Information-Centric and Software-Defined Networking
Future Internet
>
>
>
The current Internet is based on principles
of the 1960s with the main purpose to
interconnect large computers.
Today, Internet users are mainly interested
in retrieving content and accessing services.
Increasing bandwidth demand due to
— (personalized) multimedia data streams
— Cloud computing and storage,
visualization on (mobile / high-resolution) end systems
— Large data sets from measurements and scientific experiments
— Internet of Things, Internet of Services, …
>
New approaches, e.g., Information-Centric Networking (ICN),
Software-Defined Networking (SDN),
need more research, development, testing etc.

Information-Centric Networking (ICN)
>
Naming of content rather than hosts/interfaces
— Content independent of devices that store it
— Naming is location independent (receiver mobility support !)
>
>
>
Receivers (subscribers) request content.
Senders (publishers) advertise and deliver content.
Receivers and senders
— do not have to be aware of each other
— are decoupled in time
>
Example: Content-Centric Networking (CCN)

Content-Centric Networking (CCN)
>
>
>
Combination of content lookup and message routing
Idea: describe the user’s interests in the message header,
but not where to get it.
Messages (using XML encoding)
— Interest: content name, selector
— Data: content name, signature (info), data
>
Hierarchical content names
— Example: /unibe.ch/braun/lecture/os/20130219

Service-Centric Networking (SCN)
>

>
>
Extension of content-centric networking to support services,
possibly operating on content.
Description of a service using content naming scheme,
e.g., /google.com/file-service
Services are provided by service elements.
Service request (response) in Interest (Data) message
Goals
— Reducing delay for providing services
— Minimizing network bandwidth for service access
— Load balancing

Client-oriented services, e.g., web services
Continuous content retrieval and streaming services,
e.g., A/V conferencing, streaming
Event services, e.g., sensor or stocks data
In-network services, e.g., (sensor) data aggregation and filtering
Location-based services

Services might be composed out of multiple atomic services.
Single service request can be considered as service program
involving atomic services from different servers.
Service mapper
— identifies servers to provide atomic services
— calls atomic services by service requests
— may combine results into a single service response to the requester
Analogy between Software-Defined Networks and SCN:
separation of control and forwarding
→ Software-Defined Service-Centric Networking (SDSN)
>
— SDSN could provide API to service developers to define services,
SDSN then programs the network to provide requested services.

SDSN can use SDN
• to establish flows between clients and
discovered service entities
(service discovery by Interest / Data)
• to set up a SDSN overlay network

SDN is being used as network management technology so far
and its potential has not been exploited.
ICN/CCN as promising Future Internet paradigm
SDSN as generalization of SDN and ICN towards services:
Configuration of both network devices and service elements
SDSN as enabler for an Internet of Services, Internet of Things,
etc.
