An Overview of Integration of the Virtualization of Network Functions in the Context of Information Centric Networks
<|reference_start|>An Overview of Integration of the Virtualization of Network Functions in the Context of Information Centric Networks: Nowadays, the new network architectures with respect to the traditional network topologies must manage more data, which entails having increasingly robust and scalable network structures. As there is a process of growth, adaptability, and change in traditional data networks, faced with the management of large volumes of information, it is necessary to incorporate the virtualization of network functions in the context of information content networks, in such a way that there is a balance between the user and the provider at cost level and profit, the functions on the network. In turn, NFVs (Network Functions Virtualization) are considered network structures designed based on IT virtualization technologies, which allow virtualizing of the functions that can be found in the network nodes, which are connected through routing tables, which allows offering communication services for various types of customers. Therefore, information-centric networks (IC, unlike traditional data networks which proceed to exchange information between hosts using data packets and TCP/IP communication protocols, use the content of the data for this purpose where the data travels through the network is stored in a routing table located in the CR (Content Router) of the router temporality to be reused later, which allows for reducing operation costs and capital costs . The purpose of this work is to analyze how the virtualization of network functions is integrated into the field of information-centric networks. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of both architectures are considered and presented as a critical analysis when considering the current difficulties and future trends of both network topologies.<|reference_end|>
