ICN Based Scalable Audio-Video Conferencing on Virtualized Service Edge Router (VSER) Platform

This paper proposes an audio/video conferencing architecture based on the VSER platform. The proposed solution follows a hybrid approach, where consumers are initialized to current producer's media state through a media-dependent notification framework provided by the VSER; whereas the data exchange leverages ICN features, resulting in bandwidth efficiency. The hybrid design provides better scalability and reliability when compared to the ICN based P2P conferencing systems.
