Current IP-based networks are unable to fully exploit the capabilities of the increasing number of multihomed mobile terminals. We argue that Content-Centric Networking (CCN), a novel networking architecture based on named information objects, can fill the gap. In this paper, we elicit requirements for CCN packet forwarding on multihomed mobile terminals. We categorize CCN forwarding strategies according to their ability to fulfill these requirements and provide a realworld performance evaluation in the current CCNx prototype implementation. Moreover, we describe the initial design of an advanced multipath forwarding strategy.
Existing cloud computing (or serverless) architectures provide convenient abstractions for application developers, but exhibit high latencies and do not support strong consistency guarantees. These limitations stem not only from the overheads due to virtualization, but also because storage and compute layers are disaggregated.We introduce LambdaObjects; a new abstraction for serverless systems where data and compute are co-located. Data is encapsulated into objects, each associated with a set of methods that allow accessing and modifying the data. Functions then execute directly at the nodes the data is stored at. Our early results demonstrate that this architecture provides lower latencies, while sacrificing some elasticity offered by conventional serverless systems. In addition, LambdaObjects provide strong consistency and enable efficient caching mechanisms and fault-tolerance with low overhead.
