Content delivery networks over dirty slate information centric networks in 5G

内容交付网络(CDN)越来越不能维持我们今天看到的内容的持续增长。它们部署在当前的互联网架构上，这种架构正在成为内容分发的可扩展性和效率的拦路虎。以信息为中心的网络(ICN)现在正在成为未来互联网体系结构的可靠候选者。它将信息与其来源分离，并使用网络内存储和信息感知来实现高效且可扩展的内容交付。预计会有几个显著的好处(例如，由于网络内缓存，响应时间更短，流量工程得到简化)。5G现在也在兴起，预计将以肮脏的石板(即增量)方式纳入ICN。与5G相关的几个优势(例如，真实网络中的10Gbps数据速率；单位区域内的高带宽；随时随地连接几乎100%的覆盖)。在肮脏的石板上，CDN超过ICN 5G可以利用ICN和5G功能来满足当今内容巨大增长带来的挑战性要求。在本项目中，我们将研究脏石板5G中ICN上的CDN的体系结构和算法。第一套架构和算法将重点关注ICN中的自适应流传输(CDN的关键功能)，第二套架构和算法将处理5G环境下CDN与肮脏的石板ICN的集成。

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are less and less able to sustain the constant growth of content we are witnessing nowadays. They are deployed on current Internet architecture and this architecture is becoming a road block to scalability and efficiency in content distribution. Information Centric Networking (ICN) is now emerging as a solid candidate for Future Internet architecture. It decouples information from its sources and uses in-network storage and information awareness for an efficient and scalable content delivery. Several significant benefits are expected (e.g. lower response time and simplified traffic engineering due to in-network caching). 5G is also now emerging and is expected to incorporate ICN in a dirty slate (i.e. incremental) manner. Several advantages are associated with 5G (e.g. 10 Gbps data rate in real networks; high bandwidth in unit area; almost 100% coverage for anytime anywhere connectivity). CDNs over ICN in dirty slate 5G can harness ICN and 5G features to meet the challenging requirements induced by the tremendous content growth of these days. In this project we will investigate architectures and algorithms for CDNs over ICN in dirty slate 5G. The first set of architectures and algorithms will focus on adaptive streaming (a key functionality of CDN) in ICN at large and the second set will deal with the integration of CDN with a dirty slate ICN in 5G environment.
