Abstract

The smart grid, with its large array of networked devices and bidirectional data flow between the end-users and the grid, presents new requirements in service reliability, communication latency, and data delivery. The traditional TCP/IP communication paradigm was not designed to handle these requirements at the envisioned scale. This calls for a novel networking paradigm. This paper makes the case for the use of the Information Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm to create the smart grid network architecture. We quantitatively assess the gains resulting from ICN's inherent functionalities, such as concurrent use of multiple interfaces, request aggregation, and stateful forwarding, which enable timely critical message delivery and fast packet re-transmissions. We perform simulations to compare IP and ICN-based smart grid deployments. Our results show that the ICN-based solution outperforms the IP-based solution, especially in a network with packet losses.
