Information-Centric Networks: Categorizations, challenges, and classifications

2014 23rd Wireless and Optical Communication Conference (WOCC), 2014

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) emerges as a promising approach for content dissemination and retrieval with a number of advantages including efficient content delivery, better bandwidth utilization and improved mobility support. In past few years, several ICN architectures have been proposed offering different set of features and characteristics, which makes it difficult to choose a particular architecture, given some network conditions and characteristics at hand. These characteristics include IP compatibility, and choice of naming structures etc. Besides, there is a little focus on a number of challenging areas including congestion control, availability, sporadic behavior, multi-source multi-destination and security etc. Moreover, it is not clear how ICN approaches behave with different emerging network environments such as user-centric networking, objectcentric networking, Software-Defined networking and Cloud Computing. In this paper, we target all these issues together. First, we attempt to categorize different ICN architectures based on some common characteristics. Second, we identify a number of research challenges in the ICN domain and provide suggestions on mapping them to different ICN approaches. At the end, we bisect ICN approaches based on their characteristics and classify them on the basis of usability which helps a user choose a particular ICN approach given network requirements at hand.

A survey of information-centric networking

IEEE Communications Magazine, 2012

The information-centric networking (ICN) concept is a significant common approach of several future Internet research activities. The approach leverages in-network caching, multiparty communication through replication, and interaction models decoupling senders and receivers. The goal is to provide a network infrastructure service that is better suited to today¿s use (in particular. content distribution and mobility) and more resilient to disruptions and

Information-Centric Networking: Seeing the Forest for the Trees

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.

Information-centric networking [Guest editorial]

IEEE Communications Magazine, 2000

nformation-centric networking (ICN) is a relatively new research area that is motivated by significant changes witnessed in the industry regarding applications and services, as well as customer practice and expectations. Indeed, the vast majority of network traffic today (both Internet and intranet) consists of content dissemination, information that is addressed to more than one recipient. This includes not only content created explicitly for public dissemination (e.g., by large organizations such as news agencies, movie studios, and meteorological offices), but also content dissemination between restricted groups of recipients and, increasingly, content generated by end users.

A Survey of Information-Centric Networking Research

—The current Internet architecture was founded upon a host-centric communication model, which was appropriate for coping with the needs of the early Internet users. Internet usage has evolved however, with most users mainly interested in ac-cessing (vast amounts of) information, irrespective of its physical location. This paradigm shift in the usage model of the Internet, along with the pressing needs for, among others, better security and mobility support, has led researchers into considering a radical change to the Internet architecture. In this direction, we have witnessed many research efforts investigating Information-Centric Networking (ICN) as a foundation upon which the Future Internet can be built. Our main aims in this survey are: (a) to identify the core functionalities of ICN architectures, (b) to describe the key ICN proposals in a tutorial manner, highlighting the similarities and differences among them with respect to those core functionalities, and (c) to identify the key weaknesses of ICN proposals and to outline the main unresolved research challenges in this area of networking research.

Application Areas of Information-Centric Networking: State-of-the-Art and Challenges

The Information-Centric Network (ICN) paradigm has gained popularity since its inception. The host-based IP networks were not primarily designed to handle scenarios that it is exposed to on the current Internet. In that direction lot of research has been happening to develop applications such as web applications, multimedia streaming, the Internet of Things, Wireless Sensor Networks and Vehicular networks. In addition, new ICN application areas, such as social networks, Industrial IoTs, etc., are emerging. This review investigates the possible application areas and their deficiencies evenly, broadly and at a certain level of depth with focus on security, scalability, IP interoperability, modularity and other application specific aspects. We discuss the current state-of-the-art in these ICN-based applications and the existing limitations. A comparative analysis of the literary works available is performed to understand the research gaps available, and a detailed discussion of the challenges in each area is provided. We conclude the review with future challenges in the application development with the ICN paradigm to reap its architectural benefits.

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) Research Challenges

2016

This memo describes research challenges for Information-Centric Networking (ICN), an approach to evolve the Internet infrastructure to directly support information distribution by introducing uniquely named data as a core Internet principle. Data becomes independent from location, application, storage, and means of transportation, enabling or enhancing a number of desirable features, such as security, user mobility, multicast, and in-network caching. Mechanisms for realizing these benefits is the subject of ongoing research in the IRTF and elsewhere. This document describes current research challenges in ICN, including naming, security, routing, system scalability, mobility management, wireless networking, transport services, in-network caching, and network management.

ICN is an approach which is been developed by great efforts for last one decade various approaches are proposed like CCN, NDN, SDN, internet of things and many despite what they call it the main approach is same. The main aim of this approach is giving the data the additional information to play central role. But there are still major challenges that are to be overcome. Hence currently it is being tried on small scenarios like media distribution where it is performing outstandingly. So this paper will focus on what is the present state of this approach and its limitations and challenges.
