Abstract

The increasing volume of Internet traffic is pushing the Internet Service Providers to deploy distributed caching services at the network edge, close to the end users, in order to speed up the data retrieval and reduce the bandwidth demands. In parallel, centralized paradigms like Software Defined Networking (SDN) are considered to optimize network management while supporting a variety of network applications like routing, load balancing and caching. In this paper, we extend the SDN control plane to support a novel content caching strategy. We consider a softwarised edge network domain where SDN nodes, augmented with storage capabilities, cache incoming data with the twofold target of limiting the retrieval delay and the inter-domain traffic. The caching decision is taken in a centralized mode by the SDN Controller, according to a newly defined content-driven closeness centrality metric, which identifies the importance of the SDN nodes as cachers based on their proximity to the majority of the clients requesting the most popular contents. Simulation results show the superiority of the solution in terms of higher cache hits and reduced latency, when compared against benchmark caching strategies.
