Abstract

There have been many recent papers on data-oriented or content-centric network architectures. Despite the voluminous literature, surprisingly little clarity is emerging as most papers focus on what differentiates them from other proposals. We begin this paper by identifying the existing commonalities and important differences in these designs, and then discuss some remaining research issues. After our review, we emerge skeptical (but open-minded) about the value of this approach to networking.

Content discovery for information-centric networking

The information-centric networking (ICN) adopts a content name as a network identifier and utilizes in-network storages to cache the contents. With the name-based routing and content caching, ICN can provide substantial benefits such as faster content ...
Performance analysis of in-network caching for content-centric networking

With the explosion of multimedia content, Internet bandwidth is wasted by repeated downloads of popular content. Recently, Content-Centric Networking (CCN), or the so-called Information-Centric Networking (ICN), has been proposed for efficient content ...
Supporting the Web with an information centric network that routes by name

Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new paradigm in which the network layer provides users with content, instead of providing communication channels between hosts, and is aware of the name (or identifiers) of the contents. A fundamental ICN ...
