Title
Service Prioritization in Information Centric Networking With Heterogeneous Content Providers
Abstract
Service prioritization brings reasonable allocation of network resources and improves the overall quality of experience (QoE) of users, but it has not been thoroughly investigated in information centric networking (ICN). Existing works lack adaptability and they cannot ensure specific content provider (CP) get well caching service which is one of the most important functions in ICN. In this paper, we firstly propose a service prioritization scheme to flexibly provide different caching services for heterogeneous CPs to improve the overall network efficiency. The main idea is to allocate dedicated cache space for paying CPs and provide prioritized caching service for them, while normal CPs only enjoy the normal caching service. The scheme can be divided into two phases. First, we select a group of nodes with higher importance as core nodes based on network topology, and pair each edge node to a core node following the two-sided many-to-one matching algorithm. Second, we dynamically allocate and manage the dedicated cache space for core nodes. We model the allocation of dedicated cache space and convert it into a convex optimization problem to solve. After that, a practical caching strategy and system design are implemented in the ndnSIM simulator. Finally, we evaluate our scheme and conduct comparative experiments with the most representative work diff-caching, simulation results show that our scheme outperform it in terms of both delay and cache hit ratio.
