ICN-PEP: ICN Performance Enhancing Proxy for the Efficient Global Content Distribution
Kazuaki Ueda, Atsushi Tagami · 2019
A global content distribution is one of the important roles of the Internet. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a future internet architecture which attempts to redesign the Internet with a focus on content distribution. However, it has the potential performance degradation in the global content distribution. In this paper, we propose an ICN performance enhancing proxy (ICN-PEP) to mitigate this performance degradation. The key idea is to prefetch Data packets and to serve them to the consumer with the shortened round trip time. By utilizing ICN features, it is developed as offline and state-less proxy which has an advantage of scalability. We evaluate the performance of ICN-PEP in both simulation and real network and show that ICN-PEP improves the performance of global content distribution.
