Virtual Content Aware Networks (VCAN) constructed as overlays over IP network substrate is considered an efficient solution to incrementally introduce content awareness at network level. Planning, mapping on top of multiple domains IP network and optimizing these VCANs is still an open research issue. This paper is focused on intradomain planning and VCAN mapping, with QoS guarantees, thus continuing previous studies dedicated to the general architectures of the same system. A combined algorithm is proposed to perform jointly QoS routing, admission control, VCAN mapping and resource reservation. Several case studies and simulation results are presented in comparative way.
