Providing the new power system with well-tailored communication architecture is a key factor to guarantee expected smart grid capabilities. Among many requirements, quality of service awareness is a relevant feature for the smart grid communication system. Indeed, various data flows are to be exchanged in order to ensure smart grid services, having each different resilience, bandwidth and latency thresholds. Proposing a communication architecture that is inherently quality of service aware for smart grids is, then, the main idea of the present research work. We intend to take advantage of emerging content-centric and software-defined networks whose principles are highly aligned with the smart grid communication system needs.
