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

内容分发网络（cdn）越来越无法维持我们现在所看到的内容的持续增长。它们部署在当前的Internet架构上，而这种架构正在成为内容分发的可伸缩性和效率的障碍。信息中心网络（ICN）现在正在成为未来Internet体系结构的可靠候选。它将信息与源分离，并使用网络内存储和信息感知来实现高效和可扩展的内容交付。预期会有几个显著的好处（例如，由于网络内缓存，响应时间更短，流量工程更简化）。5G现在也正在兴起，预计将以一种肮脏的方式（即增量）纳入ICN。5G有几个优势（例如，实际网络中的数据速率为10gbps；单位面积的高带宽；几乎100%的覆盖率，随时随地的连接）。在肮脏的石板5G中，ICN上的cdn可以利用ICN和5G的特性来满足这些天巨大的内容增长所带来的挑战性需求。在这个项目中，我们将研究脏板5G中ICN上的cdn的架构和算法。第一组架构和算法将主要关注ICN中的自适应流（CDN的关键功能），第二组将处理5G环境下CDN与脏板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.
