DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING CONTENT IDENTIFICATION IN A SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKING CONTROLLED MULTI-LAYER NETWORK

摘要

A method, a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller, and a network include operation of a multi-layer SDN network and uniquely identifying streaming content on higher layers relative to the multi-layer SDN network through deep packet inspection; associating the streaming content to a multi-layer service on the SDN network; and monitoring the streaming content on the SDN network over the multi-layer service. This can include dynamically adjusting bandwidth of the multi-layer service utilizing OpenFlow on the SDN network based on the monitoring. The deep packet inspection can utilize a Bloom filter embedded in a resource identifier of the streaming content by the content provider, wherein the embedded Bloom filter is transparent to content players and does not require changes to storage on associated web servers for the streaming content.
