Content distribution is one of the main applications in current Internet and has emerged to allow access to content by their names, independently of location. Network caching, content replication, name-based routing/forwarding and efficient content distribution are main requirements in contemporary architectures, including 5G, Internet of things and future Internet. In this paper, we address these challenges in the context of a novel architecture called NovaGenesis (NG). Our approach integrates information-centric networking (ICN), service-oriented architecture, “semantically rich” orchestration (coordination) and identifier/locator splitting to provide efficient and secure content distribution. To proof-the-concepts behind our integrated solution, we also designed and implemented a distributed, policy-driven, content management application. We report promising experimental results, which put NovaGenesis as an alternative to current ICN architectures.
