A content-based traffic engineering policy for Information-Centric Networks
Serhat Nazim Avci, Cédric Westphal · 2016
Information-Centric Networks offer an opportunity to re-think traffic engineering, by allowing to schedule resource at the granularity of content. We describe an architecture for performing content-based path selection and resource allocation. It assigns content objects to paths in the network by considering the time it will take to deliver the existing objects in the network and optimizes with respect to this objective. We have extensively simulated this mechanism to demonstrate significant gain up to 72% in response time when compared with minimum backlog policy (MBP), round-robin format (RRF), and the traffic engineering policy which minimizes the maximum link utilization (minMLU).
