Coordinated Edge-Caching for Content Delivery in Future Internet Architecture

The Internet was conceptualized as a technology that would be capable of bringing about a better future, but recent literature in science and technology studies and adjacent fields provides numerous examples of how this pervasive sociotechnical system has been shaped and used to dystopic ends. This article examines different future imaginaries present in Future Internet Architecture (FIA) projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) from 2006 to 2016, whose goal was to incorporate social values while building new protocols to replace Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol to transfer and route information across the ever-expanding Internet. I examine the findings from two of the NSF’s FIA projects—Mobility First (MF) and eXpressive Internet Architecture—to understand the projects’ trajectories and values directives through their funding cycle and their projections into the future. I discuss how project documentation and participant articulations fall into the following three distinct themes about past experience and speculation: understanding the public, negotiating resources, and carrying project values into the future. I conclude that if the future Internet is to promote positive sociotechnical relationships, its architects must recognize that complex social and political decisions pervade each step of technical work and do more to honor this fact.

Internet has become as a social infrastructure. The current Internet architecture based on TCP/IP is faced with many challenges. This fact makes the clean slate design of future Internet architecture represented by ICN (Information-Centric Networking) be a hot research topic. In this paper, a novel routing scheme for ICN (Information-Centric Networking) is proposed. On the basis of name-based routing, a process was designed to look for other available interface through which the backtracking-condition-met interest packet will be forwarded, which can reduce the network blocking rate. Moreover, FIB (Forwarding Information Base) of neighbor nodes will be modified when data packets go through a router, which can realize the efficient use of cache. Also, a concept of "popularity" is introduced to improve CS (Content Store) hit rate. The proposed routing scheme is implemented on NSFNET by simulation, and the experimental results have shown that it is feasible and effective.
