Smart control plane for information centric network-internet service provider networks

Abstract

The information centric network (ICN) has been widely discussed in current researches. The ICN interoperation with a traditional IP network and caching methods are one of the research topics of interest. For economic reasons, the capability of applying the ICN to internet service providers (ISPs) with various traditional IP protocols already implemented, especially IGP, MPLS, VRF, and TE, does not require any change on the IP network infrastructure. The biggest concern of ISPs is related to their customers’ contents delivery speed. In this paper, we consider ICN caching locations in ISP by using the concept of locator/ID separation protocol (LISP) for interoperation between a traditional IP address and name-based ICN. To be more specific, we propose a new procedure to determine caching locations in the ICN by using the cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for finding the best caching locations of information chunks. Moreover, we create the smart control plane (SCP) scheme which is an intelligent controlling, managing, and mapping system. Its function is similar to the software defined network concept. We show how the proposed SCP system works in both synthetic small network and real-world big network. Finally, we show and evaluate the performance of our algorithm comparison with the simple search method using the shortest path first algorithm.
