dc.description.abstractUnder a tremendous increase in 5th Generation (5G) traffic, the conventional Domain Name Server(DNS)-based routing in Content Delivery Network (CDN) cannot meet enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB) communication requirements. It routes the traffic flow to the local CDN server which is closest to the end-user geographically using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Therefore; the overloading in the local CDN server is inevitable. According to literature, the access types of eMBB content achieve a higher hit-ratio in CDN caching and the anycast-based routing can redirect some of the traffic flows to the original server despite having a geographical disadvantage. Therefore, we consider access protocol types of a user such as TCP-based Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol 2 (HTTP2) and Quick User Datagram Protocol Internet Connections (QUIC) which are commonly used today in iphone Operating System (ioS) and Android-based applications. However, they do not have a central view to select optimal server according to access type in CDN and they are unaware of network dynamics such as protocol-based load and heterogeneity; i.e. the number of total matches packets and the ratio of the packets according to access protocols (HTTP2/QUIC). Therefore, we propose access protocol aware Software Defined Content Delivery Networks (SD-CDN) for eMBB traffic which decouples Data and Control planes and enables easy implementation of anycast routing on this infrastructure. It dynamically takes statistics from OpenFlow switches in the Data plane to calculate a novel load and the heterogeneity metrics per device periodically. It embeds the OpenFlow rules by using a novel access protocol-aware routing algorithm in SD-CDN. According to performance evaluation in a real test-bed environment; the Quality of Server (QoS) of received eMBB content by end-user from either the local or the original CDN servers, the proposed SD-CDN outputs 60% better PSNR than the conventional DNS-based routing with an acceptable rate for 5G requirements. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
