Information-centric networking: A review on futuristic networks
Muhammad Awais, Munam Ali Shah · 2017
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is future Internet architecture for distribution of the contents which are location independent and are cached in the ICN nodes, making them efficient for distribution and retrieval. ICN architecture is based on new protocols for unique naming and transferring of data objects over the network. Its focus is on delivery of data objects to the end user rather than communication between client and host. In this paper we have compared different proposed ICN architectures, network caching and challenges of ICN.
