Presenter Bio: Ali Shariat is currently a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Toronto.
After receiving his B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from the Isfahan
University of Technology in 2002, he was working in the industry for
about six years where he gained experience in various projects in
Computer Networks. He came back to school in 2008 and received his
M.A.Sc in 2010 from McMaster University, Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering. He then started his Ph.D. at the University of
Toronto, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His primary
interests are in Real-time Data Dissemination, Data Delivery in Smart
City Platforms, Over-The-Air Contents in Service Providers, and Content
Delivery using Next-Generation Networks, in particular, Named-Data
Networking.
Abstract: Exponential traffic growth due to the increasing popularity of
Over-The-Top Video services has put service providers under much
pressure. By promoting in-network caching, Information-Centric
Networking (ICN) is a promising paradigm to answer current challenges in
the service provider's domain. This paper reports on a cache placement
strategy for service providers to delay the onset of congestion
(time-to-exhaustion) to the extent possible in order to optimize their
capital expenditure for their limited capacity planning budget. We show
that even a limited deployment of ICN provides a substantial increase in
the time-to-exhaustion of the network and a decrease in the number of
links with high utilization.
