摘要

闲置带宽资源在不同用户之间的分配效率低下。目前，用户带宽资源的利用大多依赖于传统的 IP 网络，在应用层实施相关技术，这会产生可扩展性问题，并带来额外的系统开销。以信息为中心的网络（ICN）基于标识符和定位符分离的思想，从网络层的角度为聚合闲置带宽资源提供了可能。本文提出了一种在 ICN 中利用用户带宽资源的方法，具体来说，我们将用户带宽资源的使用视为一种服务，并分配服务 ID（标识符），当网络拥塞（网络节点过载）时，可通过 ICN 的 ID/NA（网络地址）协同路由机制将流量路由到用户侧进行转发，从而提高 ICN 传输的可扩展性和底层网络资源的利用率。为了提高用户贡献闲置带宽资源的意愿，我们利用区块链技术建立了一个安全可信的带宽交易市场。我们还设计了一种基于网络贡献证明（PoNC）共识算法的激励机制；用户可以通过转发数据包来 "挖矿"。实验结果表明，在实验条件下，利用闲置带宽可以显著提高 ICN 传输的可扩展性，最大吞吐量提高了 19.4%，并降低了丢包率。与现有方法相比，利用 ICN 技术聚合闲置带宽进行网络传输将具有更稳定、更低的延迟，并带来 13.7% 的最大利用率提升。

Utilizing User Bandwidth Resources in Information-Centric Networking through Blockchain-Based Incentive Mechanism

Idle bandwidth resources are inefficiently distributed among different users. Currently, the utilization of user bandwidth resources mostly relies on traditional IP networks, implementing relevant techniques at the application layer, which creates scalability issues and brings additional system overheads. Information-Centric Networking (ICN), based on the idea of separating identifiers and locators, offers the potential to aggregate idle bandwidth resources from a network layer perspective. This paper proposes a method for utilizing user bandwidth resources in ICN; specifically, we treat the use of user bandwidth resources as a service and assign service IDs (identifiers), and when network congestion (the network nodes are overloaded) occurs, the traffic can be routed to the user side for forwarding through the ID/NA (Network Address) cooperative routing mechanism of ICN, thereby improving the scalability of ICN transmission and the utilization of underlying network resources. To enhance the willingness of users to contribute idle bandwidth resources, we establish a secure and trustworthy bandwidth trading market using blockchain technology. We also design an incentive mechanism based on the Proof-of-Network-Contribution (PoNC) consensus algorithm; users can “mine” by forwarding packets. The experimental results show that utilizing idle bandwidth can significantly improve the scalability of ICN transmission under experimental conditions, bringing a maximum throughput improvement of 19.4% and reducing the packet loss rate. Compared with existing methods, using ICN technology to aggregate idle bandwidth for network transmission will have a more stable and lower latency, and it brings a maximum utilization improvement of 13.7%.
