The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions

11、 and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on

12、these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the e

34、 (DAN). Detailed requirements and their degree (“required“, “recommended“, or “optional“) need further study. 6 Introduction ITU-T Y.3001 defines four objectives and twelve design goals which reflect the new emerging requirements for FNs. One of the objectives is data awareness which allows FNs to h

35、ave mechanisms for promptly retrieving data regardless of their locations. Recently, this concept has been paid much attention in the network R&D community under the name of information centric networking (ICN) b-Dannewitz b-Jacobson b-Sarela because data acquiring would be more Rec. ITU-T Y.3033 (0

36、1/2014) 3 efficient with this technology, and the concept itself would change the current network architectures drastically. This Recommendation therefore specifies the framework of data aware networking (DAN) for FNs. A major Internet usage today is the retrieval of data whose amount has been chang

37、ing in an explosive manner. For instance, the sum of all forms of video (TV, video on demand, Internet, and P2P) would continue to be approximately 90% of global consumer traffic by 2015 b-Cisco. Social networking services are also creating huge volumes of blog articles instantaneously, ubiquitous s

38、ensor networks ITU-T Y.2221 are generating massive amount of digital data every second, and some applications called “micro-blogs“ generate quasi-real-time communication that includes multimedia data ITU-T Y.3001. Since this trend is likely to be sustained in the future, FNs should be able to provid

39、e users with the means to access appropriate data in an efficient manner. At the same time, the behaviour of subscribers has been changed from stationary to mobile. Due to the unpredictable behaviour of proliferated mobile devices, the resources of information and communication technology (ICT) are

40、hard to be allocated in advance to accommodate the bursty traffic generated by mobile users called “flash crowd“. Thus, FNs should also adaptively react to such environment to provide users with the means to access data without interruption. DAN is a new network architecture that would have the capa

41、bilities to deal with enormous amount of data efficiently in a distributed environment and enables users to access desired data safely, easily, quickly and accurately, regardless of data locations. This technology enables networks to be aware of user requests and to react accordingly to support adap

42、tive data distribution. Therefore, DAN is considered as a key approach to realizing FNs. 7 Overview of data aware networking DAN enables users to distribute data objects in the network and to retrieve them in an efficient and adaptive manner. The essence of DAN lies in the name based communication t

43、hat routes a data object in the network by its name or identifier (ID). The name based communication enables not only end hosts but also intermediate nodes between them to be aware of user requests as well as the corresponding responses in the forms of data name or ID as well as its attributes. “Dat

44、a-aware“ in the name of DAN means that the intermediate network elements recognize the data name or ID as well as its attributes which are provided for the network, and make a decision based on them. The decisions include: 1) Routing of user requests and the corresponding responses. 2) Responding to

45、 user requests directly if the requested data object is available. 3) Processing of user requests and the corresponding responses. The term “processing“ includes any optimization process of the user requests and the corresponding responses before transmitting them. Due to this awareness feature of D

46、AN, a network element such as router can route, respond and process user requests and the corresponding responses to optimize the distribution of data objects. For example, DAN can route user requests to a nearby cached data object, respond to user requests by returning the cached data object, and p

47、rocess the data object based on user requests by modifying the data format, e.g., to fit the capability of the user terminal. By optimizing the data distribution, users can experience higher throughput and lower latency, and network resources can be saved by reducing redundant traffic or localizing

48、bursty traffic caused by “flash crowd“. Moreover, the name based communication enables DAN to locate a data object regardless of its location, which ensures the continuation of communication associated with the names of data objects without being interrupted by its location change. For this reason,

49、DAN can handle mobility in a more native manner than the current IP networks where the data object is located by using the 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.3033 (01/2014) IP address of the host holding the data object and the communication is based on the location of the data object. Figure 1 illustrates three general use cases of DAN. In case 1 in the figure, a user request for a data object is routed to the provider of the data object. While the requested data object is downloaded from the provider to the requ
