A Deployment of Content-Centric Networking by Using OpenFlow Networks

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a novel architecture for dealing with various problems facing the Internet. However, there are deployment issues and the shortage of testbed environments. We focus on OpenFlow, which is a programmable environment without disrupting existing networks. Specific implementations of CCN using OpenFlow have not been examined in sufficient detail, although there have been investigations into the conceptual design. Our approach can solve the issues in existing designs by using a map from content names to hierarchically structured hash values and the longest prefix match.
