The SAIL Project (Scalable & Adaptive Internet Solutions) • EU Call FP7-ICT-2009-5 – 25 partners – 30 months duration – 12.4 M € EU funding in 2.5 years (total ~20M € ) • SAIL‘s main objective – Design concepts and technologies for the networks of the future – Develop techniques to move from today’s to future networks SCALABLE & ADAPTIVE INTERNET SOLUTIONS 31.1.2012 3 Put information about confidentiality here

Value Network Configurations of Information-centric Networking Motivation: Identifying common roles in ICN and their strategic and economic value to the different actors to • originally: compare success possibilities of different VNCs • now also: recognize the potential tussles rising from conflicting stakeholder interests SCALABLE & ADAPTIVE INTERNET SOLUTIONS 31.1.2012 6 Put information about confidentiality here

VNC terminology 1/2 • Technical architecture describes the technical implementation. – Technical component is a collection and realization of technical Technical interface functionalities. – Technical interface presents the technical relationship Technical component ( e.g. , protocols or radio interfaces) between components. SCALABLE & ADAPTIVE INTERNET SOLUTIONS 31.1.2012 7 Put information about confidentiality here

VNC terminology 2/2 • Value network configuration results as actors take on roles and establish business interfaces among each other. – Actor is any person or organization, which Business interface has an interest in, provides resources for, or is affected by the use case. Technical interface – Role is a set of activities and technical components, the Actor responsibility of which is not Role divided between separate actors. Technical – Business interface presents a component business relationship ( e.g. , contracts and transactions) between actors.

Research question • What are the possible VNCs that could emerge around Information-centric content delivery? – ICN understood widely: caching + focus on content, not location – Use case: content delivery from content provider to end-user • Covered architectures – CDN: Akamai CDN, Tier-1 ISP CDN, Google Global Cache – P2P: BitTorrent, Voddler, Spotify – Novel ICN proposals: NetInf, CCN/NDN, PSIRP, DONA • Key objective – Identify and describe common key roles and their value drivers SCALABLE & ADAPTIVE INTERNET SOLUTIONS 31.1.2012 9 Put information about confidentiality here

Potential tussles • ISP-CP: Transit costs vs. Content freshness tussle – In order to reduce transit costs, ISP may have limited interest in providing the most updated/fresh content • ISP-CP: Access control tussle – Providing cached content, ISP could serve the content request without informing CP so that end user would not be charged for it • ISP-CP: Content usage statistics tussle – Information popularity and other content usage statistics are hidden from original source and ISP may not have incentive in providing them • ISP-CP-Regulator: Net neutrality tussle – ISP may favor content of some CP over content of other CPs • Conclusion: Business case may be negative for CPs SCALABLE & ADAPTIVE INTERNET SOLUTIONS 31.1.2012 16 Put information about confidentiality here
