Abstract:
The Content Aware Networking (CAN) is an emerging architectural solution, responding to the significant increase in Internet content orientation. In particular media flows distribution can be well supported by virtual CAN oriented networks, aiming to control and assure the quality of services desired for such real-time services. In case of multi-domain spanning VCAN an inter-domain peering problem has to be solved, to create the VCAN overlay. This paper is a continuation of a previous work and refines a management framework for inter-domain peering in overlay VCAN, QoS enabled, built over multi-domain and multi-provider IP networks. An overlay inter-domain topology service and negotiation protocols are defined in this paper, based on cooperation of the CAN Managers belonging to network domains. Alternative solutions are proposed for VCAN topology creation and their usage is outlined. The scalability and efficiency is preliminary analyzed.
