Abstract
The Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm is expected to be one of the major innovations of the Future Internet. An ICN system can be characterized by some key components like: (i) the content-centric request/reply paradigm for data distribution, (ii) route-by-name operations, and (iii) in-network caching.A crucial problem for all ICN solutions is to identify policies forits experimentation in a real networking environment and its actua ldeployment in operating network infrastructures. Software Defined Networking (SDN), which is another topic currently attracting increasing attention, may represent a valid solution tosuch a problem. SDN serates the forwarding operations from the network control operations which may be defined dynamically through software. In this way, it is extremely simple to introduce novel networking solutions,in operating communication infrastructures, thus increasing network evolvability. We are currently implementing and testing an ICN approach, named CONET (COntent NETwork), in OFELIA – a pan-European SDN network platform, based on the OpenFlow technology. This talk will cover our motivations, our expectations and our frustrations. in other words the lessons we are learning in such a process.
