Abstract

Given the limited number of allocable IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and a rapidly growing number of connected IoT (Internet of Things) and smart devices, together with the high demand for large-size content, the existing Internet design has endured several issues regarding feasibility, security, wireless accesses, and typically network performance. To this end, ICN (Information-Centric Networking), which implements the innovative ideas of in-network caching and named content as the communication identifier instead of IP address as in TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, the standard Internet protocol suite), has been among the most promising future Internet (FI) designs to solve most of the conventional IP-based network architecture. However, ICN also consumes higher energy than TCP/IP design as extra power is required for enabling in-network caching capability. Hence, this energy efficiency (EE) issue needs to be addressed so that ICN can be a feasible and practical FI architecture for highly efficient yet sustainable network infrastructure deployment. This chapter then presents and investigates the performance of a novel “green” FI prototype, termed as Green ICN, for the realization of a scalable and sustainable real-world network infrastructure toward future networks. Specifically, the Green ICN system efficiently switches network node links and tunes content providers/servers’ optimized operating mode to save considerable power while meeting network traffic load with required (high) network performance, especially in the case of low traffic with light underutilization periods. To further diminish the overall network system’s power consumption, a popularity-aware caching scheme is implemented by setting higher priorities for serving more “popular” content items.
