Implementing NDN Using Sdn: A Review on Methods and Applications

Abstract

In recent years many claims about the limitations of todays’ network architecture, its lack of flexibility and ability to response to ongoing changes and increasing users demands. In this regard, new network architectures are proposed. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is one of these new architectures which centralizes the control of network by separating control plane from data plane. This separation leads to intelligence, flexibility and easier control in computer networks. One of the advantages of this framework is the ability to implement and test new protocols and architectures in actual networks without any concern of interruption.Named Data Networking (NDN) is another paradigm for future network architecture. With NDN the network becomes aware of the content that is providing, rather than just transferring it among end-points. NDN attracts researchers’ attention and known as the potential future of networking and internet. Providing NDN functionalities over SDN is an important requirement to enable the innovation and optimization of network resources. In this paper first we describe about SDN and NDN, and then we introduce methods for implementing NDN using SDN. We also point out the advantages and applications of implementing NDN over SDN.

Survey on the scheme evaluation, opportunities and challenges of software defined‐information centric network

“…Although a large number of combination structures have been proposed to improve network performances [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], few authors systematically analyze and thoroughly summarize these studies. To the best of our knowledge, the studies [43][44][45][46][47] have made positive contributions to this field. However, the elaboration of the combination studies in these papers is still insufficient to provide researchers with tutorial suggestions and future directions.…”

“…However, the guidance provided in this paper was limited and only related to IoT scenarios, which limits researchers' overall understanding of SD-ICN. In [47], the authors discussed various schemes for implementing the named data networking (NDN) using SDN, the advantages and applications of implementing NDN over SDN were also analyzed. However, the authors only briefly introduced some related implementation methods, there was no clear classification methodology and difference comparison.…”

“…The data plane is responsible for transferring data. This separation of control logic from routers and switches, and placing it in a central controller, which is the brain of network, makes the possibility of applying management policies, programming the switches dynamically, configuring and reconfiguring the network, and evolving the underlying networks far easier 8,9 …”

“…This separation of control logic from routers and switches, and placing it in a central controller, which is the brain of network, makes the possibility of applying management policies, programming the switches dynamically, configuring and reconfiguring the network, and evolving the underlying networks far easier. 8,9 The communication between control plane and data plane is possible using southbound APIs such as OpenFlow. 10 The OpenFlow protocol provides a communication language by executing software programs on OpenFlow switches to take order from control layer for forwarding packets.…”

“…They were ordered to determine how to transmit IPv6 packets on IEEE 802.15.4 communication links and how to implement and configure IPv6-based sub-networks [8]. Another group was established to standardize IPv6-based routing protocol independent of the communication link of equipment with limited resources [9][10][11]. In recent years, several routing protocols have been suggested for low-power and lossy networks.…”
