Virtual Content-Centric Networking

Data-centric networking has recently been gaining attention. A representative design for data-centric networking is Content-Centric Networking (CCN), which routes packets based on content identifiers. CCN is basically designed to be open because ease of data reuse is one of the greatest advantages of data-centric networking. However, for real-world networking, completely open data-centric networking is not sufficient; it is necessary to allow for private communication within a group of users. In this paper, we propose Virtual Content-Centric Networking (VCCN), which realizes private communication within a group of users through CCN router virtualization. We present four building blocks of VCCN: extension of the content identifier, CCN router virtualization, packet transport between virtualized CCN routers, and Social Network Services cooperative user/group identification. We have implemented VCCN’s basic features by extending the CCNx software and have conducted a preliminary performance evaluation of our VCCN implementation.
