Abstract
Recently the Software-Defined Networking (SDN)has attracted increasing attention in the research communityaround the world. In this paper, we focus on how to modify theOpenFlow protocol, the most popular SDN instantiation, anduse SDN functions to enable Information-Centric Networking(ICN). We describe the design based on CCNx (a virtualexperiment network based on the concept of ICN), Floodlight (akind of SDN controller) and a revised Open Vswitch (a virtualswitch in SDN). We build a testbed that i) allows to identify thecontent requests, ii) realizes the routing process of ICN in SDN,iii) enables efficient content delivery, iv) is able to be deployed inexisting IP networks. In addition, the proposed paradigmcontinues to support traditional host-to-host communicationusing TCP/IP. We will present how Open Vswitch should bealtered to better match the Operations of CCNx and how CCNxcan be implemented over the modified OpenFlow Network.
