    Leveraging named data networking for industrial automation: Opportunities and challenges
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Nagaraj, A.H.; Tahiliani, M.P.; Tandur, D.; Satheesh, H.
    Information Centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a promising solution to address the data dissemination and scalability concerns with the traditional TCP/IP Internet architecture. Named Data Networking (NDN) is a prominent ICN architecture that supports in-network caching, easy-to-deploy multicast communication and in-built security mechanisms, thus facilitating efficient, secure and timely delivery of content to the end users. These attributes make NDN a promising solution to meet the requirements of IoT applications. Consequently, NDN based IoT deployments for health care to smart home systems, smart buildings and smart cities are on the rise. Nonetheless, the feasibility of using NDN for building next generation Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) has not been studied. Industrial automation requires an efficient and scalable networking infrastructure that facilitates data sharing to drive operational improvements and develop business intelligence. Ethernet based networking solutions are becoming increasingly popular in IACS to provide seamless integration of industrial networks with the Internet. In this paper, we explore the possibilities to leverage the benefits of NDN to provide an efficient, flexible and scalable networking solution for IACS. We study the impact of making this radical change to industrial networks, highlighting the opportunities and challenges for future research and development in this direction. © 2020 IEEE.

    On the Importance of Traffic Control Subsystem in ICN-based Industrial Networks
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2020) Nagaraj, A.H.; Kataria, B.; Sohoni, A.; Tahiliani, M.P.; Tandur, D.; Satheesh, H.
    The Industrial Automation Control Systems (IACS) are currently dominated by IP-based protocols. Industry 4.0 demands an efficient and scalable networking infrastructure that facilitates data sharing to drive operational improvements and develop business intelligence. The deterministic requirements in industrial networks have led to the emergence of a new IEEE standard in the form of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). TSN enables having an upper bound on the latency of data communication, thereby partially fulfilling the requirements of Industry 4.0. However, TSN alone cannot provide the level of determinism required in industrial networks. The efficiency of the layers above TSN can significantly affect the network performance. Information Centric Networking (ICN), which contrasts with IP-based protocols by focusing on the data rather than on the endpoints, is emerging as a promising network layer paradigm. In this paper, we evaluate what it takes for ICN to be integrated with IACS, and thereby meet the requirements of industrial networks. © 2020 IEEE.
