A Survey of Quality-of-Service and Quality-of-Experience Provisioning in Information-Centric Networks
Information-centric networking (ICN) is a promising approach to address the limitations of current host-centric IP-based networking. ICN models feature ubiquitous in-network caching to provide faster and more reliable content delivery, name-based routing to provide better scalability, and self-certi...

| description | Information-centric networking (ICN) is a promising approach to address the limitations of current host-centric IP-based networking. ICN models feature ubiquitous in-network caching to provide faster and more reliable content delivery, name-based routing to provide better scalability, and self-certifying contents to ensure better security. Due to the differences in the core architecture of ICN compared to existing IP-based networks, it requires special considerations to provide quality-of-service (QoS) or quality-of-experience (QoE) support for applications based on ICNs. This paper discusses the latest advances in QoS and QoE research for ICNs. First, an overview of ICN architectures is given, followed by a summary of different factors that influence QoS and QoE. Approaches for improving QoS and QoE in ICNs are then discussed in five main categories: in-network caching, name resolution and routing, transmission and flow control, software-defined networking, and media-streaming-based strategies. Finally, open research questions for providing QoS and QoE support in ICNs are outlined for future research. |
