Abstract:
Content Centric Networking (CCN) represents an important change in the current operation of the Internet, prioritizing content over the communication between end nodes. Routers play an essential role in CCN, since they receive the requests for a given content and provide content caching for the most popular ones. They have their own forwarding strategies and caching policies for the most popular contents. Despite the number of works on this field, experimental evaluation of different forwarding algorithms and caching policies yet demands a huge effort in routers programming. In this paper we propose SDCCN, a SDN approach to CCN that provides programmable forwarding strategy and caching policies. SDCCN allows fast prototyping and experimentation in CCN. Proofs of concept were performed to demonstrate the programmability of the cache replacement algorithms and the Strategy Layer. Experimental results, obtained through implementation in the Mininet environment, are presented and evaluated.
