Building Blocks in Ψ: Bubbles

Needed to implement the
3 basic functions:
Rendezvous, Topology &
Forwarding (RTF)

The bubble concept is akin to
the current layering model
The basic building block of
functionality at all levels





from OS
through LAN
to Global Internetwork
Bubbles offer availability and
extensibility through the recursive
execution of basic functions

Secure Forwarding Mechanism



Forwarding based on Bloom filter (called zFilter) that
contains all the link IDs through which a packet has to travel
Supports multicast
Hashing


False positives
Limitations in size



Hierarchical / inter-networks
Link identifiers are unique per information flow
zFilter creation involves an encryption mechanism


DoS attack resistant
Almost impossible to
 redirect an information flow
 send arbitrary packets to a destination

Caching and replication

All content sources are equivalent in PSI





Origin, cache, or replication point
Chunks can be retrieved from different sources
Sources are visible to the network
Network-level caching
Caching vs. replication




Similar to the user, different to the network
Replication is planned (as in CDNs)
Caching is opportunistic (as in P2Ps)
PSI handles both in a unified manner

Information Identification
facebook.com/nikos/pics/



Prefix
May give a location hint,
denote the principal/owner
Associated with an access
control policy
Handled by a (set of )
dedicated network node(s)
IMG32010234

Suffix
Identifies uniquely the
information object (globally or
within the prefix)
• Users can create prefix, advertise prefix/suffix pairs,
request prefix/suffix pairs
[email protected]
26
PSI Implementation





Prefix: Scope Identifier (SId)
Suffix: Rendezvous Identifier (RId)
SIds are managed by the Rendezvous node
Define access
control policy: who
can advertise, who
can subscribe
Users can advertise data and subscribe to data
Information flow:
A subscriber has
properly authenticated
himself and requests
item X
[email protected]
Provide
Credentials
27
Benefits





Consumer credentials protected
Minimum user intervention
RP has no access to consumer’s personal information
RP does not have to implement any access control policy
Access control policies can be re-used



Even by users who do not know their content
“Access Control Store”
Access control policies can be easily modified

Packet Level Authentication (PLA)

Per packet public key cryptographic operations are
possible


The network carries only authentic data



Requires third-party certificates
Need not be implemented at all nodes

PLA offers significant energy efficiency
Implemented in NetFPGAs

Security & Privacy

E2E direct trust not applicable
–
Current Internet does not support it either
–
Socioeconomic trust through mediators (e.g., Rendezvous Providers)


Users change behavior, content does not
–
Rely on new methods to evaluate content integrity and authenticity
–
Reputable Content


Publish/Subscribe Network Architecture,” Proc. IEEE ISCC 2010, Bologna, Italy, June 2010.
N. Fotiou, G.F. Marias, G.C. Polyzos, "Fighting Spam in Publish/Subscribe Networks Using
Information Ranking," Proc. 6th Conf. on Next Generation Internet, Paris, France, June 2010.
End-user privacy can be effectively supported in ICN (@ internetwork level)
–
Who asks for what content hidden from content provider, caches
–
Pub/Sub matching through trusted mediator service (e.g., Rendezvous providers)
–

BUT privacy from Rendezvous providers becomes more of an issue
Spam & malicious content distribution is blocked
–
There is no unsolicited traffic in the network!
•
–

Content is delivered after explicit request

Advantages of PSI in Mobility Support


Decoupling IDs from location
Publish/Subscribe is asynchronous and multicast


Publishers & Subscribers can seamlessly & simultaneously move



Adapts better to frequent mobility
Data (packets) are identified independently from source or destination
Information (cached? content) is still transparently available
Routing and Forwarding

decoupling IDs from location is a major advantage





locations are ephemeral
no need for triangular routing
ingress filtering problem
anycast choice of the best source of content
Mobility & user behavior prediction together with proactive
caching/prefetching can be used to enhance mobility support

Architecture,” IEEE Communications Magazine, July 2012.

Proactive Selective Neighbor Caching
for enhancing Mobility Support in ICN
Mobility
 Delay can be reduced by using proxies to pre-fetch and cache data

approaches




Reactive
Durable subscriptions
Proactive
Proactive Selective Neighbor Caching


mobile initially connected to proxy i
select an optimum subset of neighbor proxies


i will send the mobile’s subscriptions, and
which will proactively cache





information items matching these subscriptions
if the mobile connects to one of these proxies
then it can immediately receive information items
it did not receive due to its disconnection

Publish Videos



Publish a video or a directory
with multiple videos
Define the scope for the video
she uploads to the network
Currently done via local
exchange of video knowledge
Stream Source
(e.g. VLC)
Send updated data
as datagrams
Stream Publisher
Search for the desirable video
using the name of the video



Currently done via local exchange
of information
Subscribe to its PSI-level identifiers
Play the video while downloading
Local UDP Socket
Stream Subscriber
Receive datagrams
into a publication buffer
Publish new versions
with same RId
[email protected]

Stream Sink
(e.g. VLC)
Local UDP Socket
Publication
Subscribe to a Video
Subscribe to RId and
listen to updates
Publication
NOTE: The publisher
knows the subscriber
set for this RId, sends
the metadata directly to
the subscribers; no
rendezvous. Subscriber
with metadata for a
new version,
subscribes to the
corresponding data
chunks.

Optimization of Real-Time Media Distribution
Exploit
1. Functional organization

2.
Item resolution decoupled from forwarding (path establishment)
In-network resources

TM nodes → (logically) centralized path/tree formation
Stateless multicast forwarding
Compute minimum cost (Steiner) trees for multicast delivery
 Cost of optimization:
3.

Signaling cost: resolve the subscription



→ analogous to a DNS or DHT resolution
Computation delay at TM
Evaluation: Emulation of AS 224 (Norwegian Univ. & Research Network)



233 routers, 75 access routers → 75 PSI access networks…
For 90% of subscriptions, delay (Steiner - Shortest-path) < 2ms; For 99.6%, < 60ms
Steiner-tree byte footprint compared to Shortest-path trees: - 30%, multiple unicasts: - 48%

Conclusions

ICN is well positioned to address



caching, mobility, multihoming, traffic management/QoS, security...
evolution: tussles resolved at or near run-time
PSI chose


specific name/ID resolvers (for each scope: RP), rather than flooding
separation or functions
 separate forwarding from resolution (no reverse path)


The PSI architecture inherits the advantages of

ICN & the publish/subscribe paradigm


centralized aspects, optimizations, policies
well matched to SDN/OpenFlow—all optical forwarding

φSAT Scenario #1: Hybrid broadcast netTV
Key drivers for this scenario identification
DTH Broadcasting: 1st market for telecom satellites
Unlimited potential for hybrid access
To bring a boost of the link capacity
To increase availability of service and QoE
To add a return link capability for interactive/added-value services
To enlarge service offer (e.g. number of programs for linear / ondemand TV) with several service providers
To favor partnerships and competitiveness and to lower costs
In this context, IP/TV over MPEG-based broadcast brings ease and
flexibility for service integration
Common standards to any access network
E.g. service management, native e2e IP transport…
New usages and trends of TV consumption

Reliable real-time SW upgrading
φSAT Scenario #3: Extended 4G Backhauling
Key driver for this scenario
Provides advantages in SatCom integration within the 4G/mobile Internet context
given the aggressive video traffic growth levels in terrestrial mobile networks.
Integrating satellite in a terrestrial 4G infrastructure allows Service Providers to
extend their services towards isolated areas and enhance network capabilities for
more efficient video content delivery, such as Evolved Multimedia Broadcast
Multicast (eMBMS).
Satellite Network Configuration
GEO or MEO topology
In some areas terrestrial repeaters (such as in systems based on DVB-SH and –
NGH) could also be used to boost the satellite signal, e.g. for reception in urban
areas (Hybrid satellite –LTE system).
ICN potential
QoS based inter-component handover management
Opportunistic/proactive caching for satellite backhauled BS
Traffic Aggregation & Caching for operator managed VAS
