Information-centric networking/Named-data networking provides an alternative approach to host-oriented, IP-based communication. Communication following this paradigm directs network traffic to a host that advertises a given name. A number of approaches have been implemented to demonstrate the basic viability of concepts; however, none of these approaches provide observability and introspection as provided by a lot of … Read more
Current communication between devices and cloud infrastructure is based largely on IPv4 or IPv6. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) proposes to retrieve information from the ‘network’ based on named content instead of focussing on communication with a endpoints identified by addresses. ICN approaches such as Named-Data Networking (NDN) require consumers to express interests for individual chunks of … Read more
Information-centric networking assumes that content is the focus of communication and is uniquely named in networks e.g. a consumer asks a network for specific content instead of connecting to the IP address of a specific server. This approach allows content to be cached within the network and network nodes to change their location without affecting … Read more
