A network virtualization framework for information centric data center networks

In this poster we have proposed a novel network virtualization framework for information centric data center networks that decouples the control plane and data plane, where the fully distributed data plane is controlled and managed by a well-defined and centralized control plane. Exploiting some network virtualization notion, the proposed framework provides an easily and fast deployable solution to information centric data center networks to provide several virtual networks on same physical network and efficiently handle client requests. It also deals with reliable access to virtual networks as well as mapping of virtual and physical network elements. The proposed framework utilizes the efficiency of information centric networking by providing in-network caching and faster access to requested data.
