Abstract

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has revolutionized the manner of content acquisition by shifting the communication mode from host-centric to information-centric. Considering the existing, large amount of IP infrastructure in current networks, the new ICN architecture is proposed to be compatible with existing networks in order to reduce deployment cost. However, due to compatibility with IP networks, ICN data packets must be transmitted through the default path provided by IP routing regulations, which also limits the transmission efficiency and reliability of ICN. In order to address this issue, this paper introduces a multipath transmission method applied in ICN which takes full advantage of the functions and characteristics of ICN and builds multiple end-to-end relay paths by using the ICN routers as relay nodes. We then propose a relay-node-selection algorithm based on path correlation to minimize the impact of overlapping links. Moreover, we comprehensively calculate the path state value by combining the round-trip time and packet loss rate and propose a multipath data-scheduling algorithm based on the path state value. Simulation experiments show that the proposed method can maintain high bandwidth utilization while reducing the number of out-of-order packets.
