Abstract

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and Service-Centric Networking(SCN) are two novel paradigms that seek to change the way content and services are perceived. CCN is centered around content distribution, while SCN focuses on dynamic customization of in-network services. We present SoCCeR--Services over Content-Centric Routing. SoCCeR extends CCN with integrated support for service routing decisions leveraging ant-colony optimization. SoCCeR adds a control layer on top of CCN for the manipulation of the underlying Forwarding Information Base (FIB). Without affecting content request and retrieval functionality of CCN, SoCCeR adds SCN functionality to CCN. Illustrating the interaction of SoCCeR with the routing layer, our simulation results show that SoCCeR routes service requests selectively to service instances with lighter loads and is highly responsive to network and service state changes.
