Traffic scheduling method based on centralized control in named data networking

In order to address the global optimization problem for traffic scheduling in named data networking,related works were analyzed,a method based on centralized control was proposed.The proposed method took network performance and communication overhead into account.In the proposed scheme,appropriate nodes would be selected as E-NDN nodes,then the controller calculated the corresponding multi-path forwarding policies and sent them to E-NDN nodes according to the in-network cache,the aggregation of Interest packets,and the traffic demands of popular contents to achieve global optimization.The evaluation results indicate that the proposed method can significantly reduce the maximum link utilization and improve network performance.Simultaneously,the proposed method will not cause a large optimization cost,and communication overhead between the controller and nodes will increase slightly.
