In-network P2P packet cache processing using scalable P2P network test platform

The continuous growth of P2P traffic imposes a large burden on ISP network operation. To reduce P2P traffic, the redundancy elimination using P2P packet cache scheme is effective since P2P swarm contains the high redundancy. We have developed the P2P shared packet cache architecture. We have validated the basic operations of the proposed architecture on Emulab [1], [2]. In this demo, we present the test platform desirable to perform the in-network P2P cache processing together with the scalable generation of the user clients. The test network can be created on the programmable virtualized slice network by VNode which has been developed for the future network study [3]. To enable the emulation of the scalable user access, VM clustered overlay network is integrated with the slice network. Using the virtualized test network platform, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the P2P cache processing.
