There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The Internet was specifically conceived in the late ’60s to interconnect remote machines, creating an end-to-end means of communication originally used to share the computational power available remotely. However, much has changed from that time, and nowadays this end-to-end communication model does not seem to be appropriate anymore.
In this seminar, we present the models we designed to study the performance of the novel Content-Centric Networking (CCN) paradigm, with a special attention towards the object placement and content routing problems. Our results clearly show that even by deploying small caches in a CCN, significant performance gains can be obtained with respect to the traditional techniques used in an IP-based network to perform content distribution.
The adoption of CCN can also benefit the wireless access network. In particular, congested bottleneck links such as backhaul connections of small cells' access points can experience relevant performance gains due to the native multicast features and caching capabilities provided by CCN. In the presentation we will also describe the incentive mechanism we proposed to stimulate access point owners to offer their unexploited bandwidth and storage resources to a content provider.
