As individuals create many contents anytime and anywhere together with the widespread dissemination of smart devices as well as various social networking services (SNS), content centric networking (CCN) has regarded as a new networking technology. However, CCN is exposed to malicious attacks on the mobility management of mobile content sources during handover and high volume of control messages. Therefore, this paper presents a secure duplicate name detection (SecureDND) mechanism without additional control messages by signed information and secure token. It is shown from the performance evaluation that the proposed scheme can provide low control overhead, which results in the network scalability.

Recently, CCN(Content Centric Network) has been extensively interested in the literature to transfer data traffic efficiently according to the rapid growth of multimedia services on the Internet. CCN is a new networking paradigm to deliver contents efficiently based on the named content not the named or addressed host. This paper presents a mathematical approach for analyzing CCN-caching systems with two routers. Considering the stochastic characteristics of communication networks, the caching system is modeled as a two dimensional Markov chain. This paper analyzes the structural feature of the transition rate matrix in the Markov chain and presents a numerical solution for the CCN-caching performance of the two router system. In addition, various numerical examples are presented.

To enhance network efficiency, CCN allow intermediate network nodes between a content consumer and a content publisher to temporarily cache transmitted contents. Then the network nodes immediately return back the cached contents to another consumers when the nodes receives relevant contents request messages from the consumers. For that, CCN utilizes hierarchical content names to forward a request message as well as a response message. However, such content names semantically contain much information about domain/user as well as content itself. So it is possible to invade users' privacy. In this paper, we first review both the problem of CCN name in the view point of privacy and proposed schemes. Then we propose an improved name management scheme for users' privacy preservation.

In-network caching is a key component of information-centric networking (ICN) for reducing content download time, network traffic, and server workload. Data center network (DCN) is an ideal candidate for applying the ICN design principles. In this paper, we have evaluated the effectiveness of caching placement and replacement in DCN with butterfly-topology. We also suggest a new cache placement policy based on the number of routing nodes (i.e., hop counts) through which travels the content. With a probability inversely proportional to the hop counts, the caching placement policy makes each routing node to cache content chunks. Simulation results lead us to conclude (i) cache placement policy is more effective for cache performance than cache replacement, (ii) the suggested cache placement policy has better caching performance for butterfly-type DCNs than the traditional caching placement policies such as ALWASYS and FIX(P), and (iii) high cache hit ratio does not always imply low average hop counts.

In recent years, HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) has attracted considerable attention as the state-of-the-art technology for video transport. HAS dynamically adjusts the quality of video streaming according to the network bandwidth and device capability of users. Content-Centric Networking (CCN) has also emerged as a future Internet architecture, which is a novel communication paradigm that integrates content delivery as a native network primitive. These trends have led to the new research issue of harmonizing HAS with the in-network caching provided by CCN routers. Previous research has shown that the performance of HAS can be improved by using the H.264/SVC(scalable video codec) in the in-network caching environments. However, the previous study did not address the misbehavior that causes video freeze when overestimating the available network bandwidth, which is attributable to the high cache hit rate. Thus, we propose a new SVC-based adaptation algorithm that utilizes a drop timer. Our approach aims to stop the downloading of additional enhancement layers that are not cached in the local CCN routers in a timely manner, thereby preventing excessive consumption of the video buffer. We implemented our algorithm in the SVC-HAS client and deployed a testbed that could run Smooth-Streaming, which is one of the most popular HAS solutions, over CCNx, which is the reference implementation of CCN. Our experimental results showed that the proposed scheme (SLA) could avoid video freeze in an effective manner, but without reducing the high hit rate on the CCN routers or affecting the high video quality on the SVC-HAS client.

Information-centric networks operate under the assumption that all network components have built-in caching capabilities. Integrating the caching strategies of information centric networking (ICN) with wireless virtualization improves the gain of virtual infrastructure content caching. In this paper, we propose a framework for software-defined information centric virtualized wireless device-to-device (D2D) networks. Enabling D2D communications in virtualized ICN increases the spectral efficiency due to reuse and proximity gains while the software-defined network (SDN) as a platform also simplifies the computational overhead. In this framework, we propose a joint virtual resource and cache allocation solution for latency-sensitive applications in the next-generation cellular networks. As the formulated problem is NP-hard, we design low-complexity heuristic algorithms which are intuitive and efficient. In our proposed framework, different services can share a pool of infrastructure items. We evaluate our proposed framework and algorithm through extensive simulations. The results demonstrate significant improvements in terms of visiting latency, end user QoE, InP resource utilization and MVNO utility gain.

Content-centric networking (CCN) is a future Internet technology to reorganize the paradigm of end-to-end communication of the current IP-based Internet architecture into a content-based paradigm. In managing such new networks, the network management is one of the most important functions. The standard for typical network management in existing IP networks is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Though there have been several works to implement network management functions on CCN, they have their own limitations to apply them to pure CCN operational environments. The basic reason of the limitation is that existing methods operate in an IP-overlay structure, or do not support push-type information exchange. In this paper, we propose a new naming structure that can accommodate both pull and push-type SNMP methods for CCN network management with SNMP. Then, methods to support GET and TRAP methods as well as a SET method of SNMP in the pure CCN environment using the proposed naming structure are proposed. We implement the proposed method using CCNx, and construct a CCN network testbed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method by monitoring appropriate exchange of SNMP messages over the testbed.

Due to an explosive growth in services running in different datacenters, there is need for service selection and routing to deliver user requests to the best service instance. In current solutions, it is generally the client that must first select a datacenter to forward the request to before an internal load-balancer of the selected datacenter can select the optimal instance. An optimal selection requires knowledge of both network and server characteristics, making clients less suitable to make this decision. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) research solved a similar selection problem for static data retrieval by integrating content delivery as a native network feature. We address the selection problem for services by extending the ICN-principles for services. In this paper we present Queue and Latency, a network-driven service selection algorithm which maps user demand to service instances, taking into account both network and server metrics. To reduce the size of service router forwarding tables, we present a statistical method to approximate an optimal load distribution with minimized router state required. Simulation results show that our statistical routing approach approximates the average system response time of source-based routing with minimized state in forwarding tables.

As users generate lots of contents anytime and anywhere with an explosive growth of the number of mobile devices, Content centric networking (CCN) has emerged as a new networking architecture. However, the efficient CCN routing scheme is required for ad hoc network support because of its one to one message exchange characteristics. So, this paper proposes the new CCN ad hoc routing scheme using on-demand approach, which includes the secure routing configuration scheme based on multiple hash operation. It is shown from the simulation that the proposed method can provide lower control overhead because of its two-fold routing configuration architecture.

Content Centric Network(CCN) with architecture that is completely different from traditional host-based networks has emerged to address problems such as the explosion of traffic load in the current network. Research on cache replacement policies is very active to improve the performance of CCN with the characteristics that all routers cache on the network. Therefore, this paper proposes a cache replacement policy suitable for situations in which popularity is constantly changing, taking into account the actual network situation. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we experimented in an environment where the popularity of content is constantly changing, and confirmed that we are superior to the existing replacement policy through comparing hit rates and analyzing server load.
