    Router-based content-aware data redirection for future cdn systems
    (Modern Education and Computer Science Press, 2014-05-01) Wijekoon, J; Harahap, E; Ishida, S; Tennekoon, R; Nishi, H
    Delivery of data-enriched applications has become a top priority on the Internet, and Internet users are demanding faster and higher-quality services. Cater such requirements, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) were introduced. However, the growth rate of information on the Internet requires infrastructural modifications to keep the consistency while maintaining quality of the Internet services. To this end, the Service-oriented Router is introduced to provide content based services by shifting the current Internet infrastructure to informationbased open innovation platform. In this study, initially we provide implementation notes of a software-designed SoR. Then we propose a new method of CDN Request Redirection (RR) (SoR-based RR), which is designed to redirect packets based on the content of packets and the status of content servers using an SoR as an edge router of a CDN. Furthermore, we present the design and implementation of a prototype to realize the SoR-based RR in a testing network. By analyzing the result of the prototype implementation, we show that the SoR-based RR can enhance the both client experience and faster adaptations to the server changes in CDN environments.

    Effectiveness of a service-oriented router in future content delivery networks
    (IEEE, 2015-07-07) Wijekoon, J; Harahap, E; Takagiwa, K; Tennekoon, R; Nishi, H
    Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) constitute a major portion of Internet traffic. To cope with increasing demand for content, CDNs have deployed distributed infrastructures on Internet Service Providers (ISPs') networks. Most CDN systems optimize their traffic flow using Domain Name Systems. However, they do not collaborate with the ISPs, and the lack of collaboration limits performance such as end-user latency. Meanwhile, in future networks, it is anticipated that network routers will be equipped with more processing power and storage modules for providing most effective end-user services. From this viewpoint, a Service-oriented Router (SoR) is introduced to accelerate content-based services. In this paper, the benefits of introducing an SoR to an ISP network for maintaining ISP-CDN collaboration is outlined. Furthermore, a prototype design of the proposed system is presented. Simulations clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ISP-CDN collaboration, which yields a 30-50% reduction in end-user latency.

    Effectiveness of Service-oriented router for ISP-CDN collaboration
    (Information Processing Society of Japan, 2017-01) Wijekoon, J; Harahap, E. H; Tennekoon, R; Nishi, H
    This article discusses a novel method to strengthen the collaboration between Internet service providers (ISPs) and content delivery networks (CDNs). CDNs are becoming the primary data delivery method in information communication technology environments because information sharing via networks is becoming the driving force of the future Internet. Moreover, it is anticipated that network routers will be equipped with additional processing power and storage modules for providing efficient end-user services. Consequently, this article studies the effectiveness of introducing a Service-oriented Router (SoR) to strengthen the ISP-CDN collaboration to leverage DNS-based request redirection in CDNs. In contrast, the proposed method yields better performance in user redirection and network resource utilization, suggesting that using SoR may a future business model which addresses adequate ISP-CDN collaboration.

    Per-hop data encryption protocol for transmitting data securely over public networks
    (Elsevier, 2014-01-01) Tennekoon, R; Wijekoon, J; Harahap, E; Nishi, H
    It is a well-known fact that the Internet traffic travels through public networks. These networks lack security and are vulnerable. Encryption and public key cryptography are important technologies that are used to preserve data security and integrity, and to reduce information theft on the public networks. However, the existing routing protocols are incapable of providing secure data transmission on public networks. To this end, our laboratory introduced the Service-oriented Router (SoR) to maintain rich information for the next-generation networks by shifting the current Internet infrastructure to an information-based and an open-innovation platform. An SoR can analyze all packet stream transactions on its interfaces and store them in high throughput databases. Using the features of the SoR, in this paper, we propose a hop-by-hop routing protocol that provides per-hop data encryption. This infrastructure is proposing to preserve both the security and the privacy of data that traverses through public networks. We implemented a prototype of per-hop data encryption protocol on the ns-3 simulator and the results obtained are discussed in this paper.
