ANALYSIS OF DATA-CENTRIC NETWORK ARCHITECTURES
The concept of Information Centric Networking (ICN) defines a new communication model that focuses on what is being exchanged rather than which network entities are exchanging information. ICN’s primary objective is to shift the current host-oriented communication model towards a content centric model for effective distribution of content over the network. The article provides an analysis of the most famous ICN research projects and defines their main indicators. Challenges will also be discussed related to naming, routing, and caching in Information-Centric Networking.
