   Architectural Considerations of ICN using Name Resolution Service
                       draft-hong-icnrg-icnnrs-01

Abstract

   This document discusses architectural considerations and implications
   of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) related to the usage of the
   Name Resolution Service (NRS).  It describes how ICN architecture
   changes and what implications are in the routing system when NRS is
   utilized in ICN.

1.  Introduction

   Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is an approach to evolve the
   Internet infrastructure to directly access Named Data Objects (NDOs)
   by its name, i.e., the name of NDO is directly used to route the
   request to the data object.  Such name based routing in ICN poses a
   number of issues, which are not solved yet in ICN.  These issues
   includes global scalability of routing, producer mobility, off-path
   cache, etc.  In order to address these issues, the name resolution
   function has been applied to several ICN projects and literature
   [Afanasyev][Zhang2][Ravindran][MF][Bayhan].

   The requirements of Name Resolution Service (NRS) has been discussed
   in [NRS] which focus on designing NRS itself in terms of service,
   system and security aspects.  As implementation of NRS, few NRS
   systems has been introduced in ICNRG.  [BNRS] is an NRS system
   utilizing bloom filter to support a flat name based routing and
   [NRS_CCNx] is another NRS implemented on CCNx to support a scalable
   routing system for CCN.  [NRS] has been well discussed on the
   considerations and requirements of NRS.  However, it is necessary to
   discuss the ICN architectural issues considered when NRS system is
   implemented in ICN.

   Thus, this document describes how ICN architecture changes and what
   implications are in the routing system when Name Resolution Sevice
