Inter-domain Peering in Content-Aware Networks for Multimedia Applications
Eugen Borcoci, Radu Dinel Miruta, Serban Georgica Obreja · 2012
The Content Aware Networking is an emerging architectural solution, responding to the significant increase in Internet content orientation. This paper is a continuation of a previous work and refines a management framework, for inter-domain peering in overlay Virtual Content Aware Networks (VCAN), QoS enabled, built over multi-domain, multi-provider IP networks. An overlay inter-domain topology service and negotiation protocols are defined in this paper, based on cooperation of the CAN Managers belonging to network domains. The scalability and efficiency is preliminary analyzed. The work is part of the research effort, inside a FP7 European Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) research project, ALICANTE, oriented to multimedia distribution based on CAN approach.
