This paper bridges Information-Centric Networking (ICN), a novel form of networking centered around information or content, and Redundancy Elimination (RE), a popular technique widely used to identify content with similar bytestream. The result is ICN-...

Information is the building block of Information Centric Networks (ICNs). Access control policies limit information dissemination to authorized entities only. Defining access control policies in an ICN is a non-trivial task as an information item may ...

We propose a new Data Center Network (DCN) architecture, based on the principles of Information-Centric Networking (ICN). Our Info-Centric Data Center Network (IC-DCN) addresses many of the pain-points in current DCNs, such as network scalability, host ...

Today, high-end routers forward hundreds of millions of packets per second by means of longest prefix match on forwarding tables with less than a million IP prefixes. Information-Centric Networking, a novel form of networking where content is requested ...

We present a Selective Neighbor Caching (SNC) approach for enhancing seamless mobility in ICN architectures. The approach is based on proactively caching information requests and the corresponding items to a subset of proxies that are one hop away from ...

In-network caching necessitates the transformation of centralised operations of traditional, overlay caching techniques to a decentralised and uncoordinated environment. Given that caching capacity in routers is relatively small in comparison to the ...

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has recently attracted research attention, which decouples content from hosts at the network layer, and retrieves a content object by its name (identifier), instead of its storage location (host IP address) in order ...

Content-centric networking (CCN) advocates a new transport model tailored to named-data communication. Three features distinguish CCN transport from the TCP/IP model: unique endpoint at the receiver, pull-based data retrieval in a point to multi-point ...

Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new paradigm that addresses the gap between the content-centric needs of a user and the current widespread location-centric IP network architecture. In this paper, we propose a hybrid content centric architecture ...

Content distribution has become a major function of the Internet. However, the current Internet content distribution infrastructure is largely closed to end-to-end applications, making it challenging for the application community to utilize in-network ...

Content to be transported over an Information Centric Networking (ICN) infrastructure can be very variable in size, from few bytes to hundreds of gigabytes. Therefore it needs to be segmented in smaller size data units, typically called chunks, in order ...

Content-centric networking (CCN) is designed for efficient dissemination of information. Several architectures are proposed for CCN recently, but mobility issues are not considered sufficiently. We classify traffic types of CCN into real-time and non ...

Most Information Centric Networking designs propose the usage of widely distributed in-network storage. However, the huge amount of content exchanged in the Internet, and the volatility of content replicas cached across the network pose significant ...

Identification is central to information or content centric networking, in order to enable referencing and access to the information objects. In this work we focus on identifiers and the identification system as a target of a design process, because ...
