Abstract:
Provided is a content cache managing method and apparatus, and more particularly, a method and an apparatus for managing a content cache by considering network cost in a network. A content cache managing method of transmission equipment that forwards a content data packet may include calculating a cache replacement factor value by using network cost that is incurred in a network path from the transmission equipment to an original content server storing original content data, based on the content data packet that the content data packet is received from neighboring transmission equipment, and managing a cache in the transmission equipment based on the calculated cache replacement factor value or a state of cache in the transmission equipment to store the content data packet.
Abstract:
A system and method for virtualizing SDN-based network monitoring. The system for includes: an information collector, a monitoring component, an information converter, and a resource allocator, in which a user-defined virtual monitor is included so that integrated monitoring may be performed, and expandability may be guaranteed to dynamically respond to a user's, demands.
Abstract:
A server connection apparatus and method for controlling a connection between a plurality of controller servers and a plurality of network devices. The server connection apparatus includes a network connector configured to connect a plurality of controller servers capable of functioning as OpenFlow protocol-based SDN controllers and a plurality of network devices on a data plane and relay transmission and reception of data between the controller servers and the network devices; and a controller configured to create a list of available controller servers by monitoring an operational state of each controller server, select a particular controller server to be in charge of controlling a network device in response to a received request, and then control connection relationships between the plurality of controller servers and the plurality of network devices based on the selection result.
Abstract:
A communication method in a software defined network (SDN) using a hierarchical structure and a system thereof are provided. The communication method includes separating a transport plane and a control plane from each other; hierarchically partitioning the control plane into a plurality of lower-level controllers and a upper-level controller that is configured to integratedly manage the plurality of lower-level controllers; and controlling communication among unit networks or through at least one unit network by using a hierarchical structure of the control plane.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a virtual file system for interworking between a content server and an information-centric network server, the system including: a file system function processing unit configured to process a file operation for a predetermined content requested from a plurality of content service protocols; a cache control unit configured to process the content requested through the file operation by managing a cache in a node; and a protocol matching unit configured to process the content requested through the file operation by interfacing with a plurality of content transfer protocols.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a system for interoperating DHT-based overlay networks and a method thereof. The system for interoperating DHT-based overlay networks includes a domain participation node inquiring an address of a node in which a file is stored in a predetermined domain management node when there is no node storing a file to be used in a unit overlay network which the domain participation node itself belongs to; and a domain management node providing the address of the node storing the file by interoperating at least one different unit overlay network in accordance with the inquiry of the domain participation node.
