A Programmable Network Architecture for Information Centric Network using Data Replication in Private Clouds

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new approach to computer networks that decouple the control from the data transmission function and is directly programmable through a high level programming language. In parallel Information Centric Network (ICN) influences the use of information through network caching, multipart communication and interaction of models, separating senders and recipients. Moreover, to due programmable features, SDN and ICN projects are architectures developed to flexibilize environments, mitigate traffic problems, deliver content through a scalable network structure, and yet avaiable a simple management. The premise of the SDN that contemplates the ICN besides decoupling, is the flexibility of the network configurations to reduce the overhead of the segments because of the retransmission of duplicate files by the same segment where they travel. Another important point is that contents provided do not give guarantees on the files integrity since they are routed through the same nodes several times pointing to biases. Based on this information, an architecture is designed to provide reliable content, that can be replicated in the network [16]. The proposed architecture aims to develop an ICN network, storing the information through a logical volume using private clouds, and that the stored content remains in a file system external to the network.
