Robert Bauer, Martina Zitterbart · 2018
This paper conducts a systematic analysis of different conceptual choices on implementing ICN core functionalities (routing, forwarding, caching) in Software-defined networks. The analysis considers recent developments in the area of Software-defined Networking and Network Functions Virtualization. Based on this, four abstract models of deployment options are presented and their requirements, advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The paper also presents a preliminary coarse-grained performance evaluation of the different options.
