Abstract

As the Internet communication model changes from host-centric to content-centric, information-centric networking (ICN) as a new network architecture has received increasing attention. There are often multiple replicas of content in ICN, and how to reasonably utilize the characteristics of multiple replicas to further improve user experience is an important issue. In this paper, we propose a replica-selection algorithm, called the transmission completion time estimation (TCTE) algorithm. TCTE maintains the state of replica nodes in the domain with passive measurements in a limited domain of an enhanced name resolution system (ENRS), then estimates the transmission completion time of different replica nodes and selects the smallest one. When no replica is found in the ENRS domain, the nearest-replica algorithm will be used, so TCTE will not increase the traffic in the core network. Experiments show that TCTE not only effectively improves the user’s download rate and edge node throughput, reduces download rate fluctuations, reduces user download delay, and improves fairness, but also has universal applicability.
