The value centric information and intelligence sharing scheme

Abstract

The information in the network has been increasing, and it is dominated by a few heavy users. This imbalance is an insignificant problem if there is an abundance of network resources. Unfortunately, the available resources are not infinite. Thus we have to develop a future network architecture that considers resource starvation. We present Value-Centric Networking (VCN) which is based on Information Value. The main purpose of VCN is to maximize Information Value in the network, and thus support the entire society. We implement the VCN architecture concept in the form of a proxy server and confirmed that VCN operation forwarded the high information value streams passing through the proxy server faster than ordinary FIFO operation. In addition, we discuss the controversial issues of VCN, value definition and feasibility.
