A content management layer for software-defined information centric networks
Abhishek Chanda, Cédric Westphal · 2013
The traditional abstraction mechanism in Software Defined Networking does not support including non forwarding elements (proxy and cache for example) in a network. Thus, an OpenFlow network cannot support any content centric functionality natively. We propose an extension of the SDN abstractions to allow these functionalities. We describe our demonstration setup which works by extending OpenFlow to support content identifification and management.
