Challenges of name resolution service for information centric networking toward IoT

摘要

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been recognized as a promising technology for the future Internet architecture. The primary communication object in ICN is the named data object (NDO) and its main goal is the efficient dissemination and retrieval of the NDOs in a global scale. In this regard, ICN can be a candidate architecture in IoT environment since IoT focuses on data and information rather than end-to-end communications. In ICN, the name identifying the data object is location independent and so Name Resolution service (NRS) is one of the most important design challenges, where NRS is to translate object names into routing hints such as locators. In this paper, we discuss the motivation and challenges of NRS for ICN toward IoT.
