[Nets-seminars] Talk friday in UCL Electronic engineering

[Richard G. Clegg]

Don't forget tomorrow's talk at 16:00 in UCL Electronic Engineering -- 
GS/102 (two floors down from usual venue).

The speaker is Lorenzo Saino from UCL EE.

*Title:*
CCTCP: A Scalable Receiver-driven Congestion Control Protocol for 
Content Centric Networking


*Abstract:**
*Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a recently proposed 
information-centric Internet architecture in which the main network 
abstraction is represented by location-agnostic content identifiers 
instead of node identifiers. In CCN each content object is divided into 
packet-size chunks. When a content object is transferred, routers on the 
path can cache single chunks which they can use to serve subsequent 
requests from other users.

Since content chunks in CCN may be retrieved from a number of different 
nodes/caches, implicit-feedback transport protocols will not be able to 
work efficiently, because it is not possible to set an appropriate 
timeout value based on RTT estimations given that the data source may 
change frequently during a flow.

In order to address this problem, we propose in this paper a scalable, 
implicit-feedback congestion control protocol, capable of coping with 
RTT unpredictability using a novel anticipated interest mechanism to 
predict the location of chunks before they are actually served. Our 
evaluation shows that our protocol outperforms similar receiver-driven 
protocols, in particular when content chunks are scattered across 
network paths due to reduced cache sizes, long-tail content popularity 
distribution or the adoption of specific caching policies.
