Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims at establishing a new network design approach that adopts future networking technologies such as content-centric networking and software-defined networking (SDN) as upper layer technologies while using all-optical networks as lower layer networks. As the upper layer technologies, we proposed network design methods including content allocation and caching methods for the content-centric networking. Also, we proposed network design considering flow entry constraints for SDN. Furthermore, as the lower layer architectures, we focused on elastic optical path networks and designed them from multiple perspectives. In this research, we showed the effectiveness of our network design through simulation and numerical experiments.
