Information-Centric Networking (ICN): Terminology
draft-wissingh-icnrg-terminology-01
Abstract
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new paradigm where network
communications are accomplished by requesting named content, instead
of sending packets to destination addresses. Named Data Networking
(NDN) and Content-Centric Networking (CCN) are two prominent ICN
architectures. This document provides an overview of the terminology
and definitions that have been used in describing concepts in these
two projects. While there are other ICN architectures, they are not
part of the NDN and CCN vision and as such are out of scope for this
document.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute

1. Introduction
Information-centric networking (ICN) is an approach to evolve the
Internet infrastructure from the existing host-centric design to a
data-centric architecture where accessing data by name becomes the
