Content anycasting applications for future internet

In this paper, we show our design and implementation of two applications built using our Contents Anycasting [14], the two applications are popular large file distribution and an enhanced P2P video streaming. Content Anycasting aims to providing more flexible and dynamic redirection of contents that is done with the help of OpenFlow's new potential abilities and thus giving new opportunities to the future internet that are currently not available. Both of the popular large file distribution system and the enhanced P2P video streaming applications tends to attract large number of user clients, especially if their content was a popular one; like some distributions of an operating system or a live video of a sport event. And thus, those applications can take advantage of the content anycasting by using it to reduce the load off the server or as an alternative method to construct the P2P multicast tree that has a low startup delay and has a less tendency to fail due to flash crowds.
