Abstract:

The core idea of Software Defined Network (SDN) is to decouplethecontrol plane and the data plane in the network andprovide users with an open programmable interface by means of centralized control. Information Centric Networking (ICN) focuses on the content name and the namebased content routing. Protocol Oblivious Forwarding (POF) is a SDN forwarding technology that supports custom protocols.With the research and development of future network technology, it is possible to achieve ICN based on SDN technology. Therefore, we design and implement an ICN network scheme based on POF technology, and build up the ICN testbed.The multiplayer video conferencing application indicates the correctness and feasibility of the scheme, which can not only forward ICN data packets but also achieve realtime applications well.
 

Key words: software defined network, information centric networking, protocol oblivious forwarding
