Summary:
In recent years, Information-Centric Networking (ICN), which is a network architecture focusing on contents being transmitted through the network, has been actively studied. Since ICNs adopt a different communication paradigm than traditional TCP/IP, conventional design practices for traditional transport protocols such as TCP cannot be directly applied to ICNs. Unlike TCP/IP, transport protocols for ICNs have the following characteristics: (1) they are receiver-driven rather than sender-driven, (2) they allow multi-path forwarding from multiple provisioning servers to a single requesting host, and (3) they allow content caching in the network, so ICN transport protocols must be designed with these characteristics in mind. In order to design an efficient transport protocol for large-scale ICNs, there is a need to establish a method to evaluate the performance of large-scale ICNs considering the dynamics of the transport protocol. In this paper, we build a fluid model for multi-path AIMD (Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease) window flow control in ICNs by extending the fluid model for ICNs.
