Information-Centric Networking: Baseline Scenarios
Abstract
This document aims at establishing a common understanding about a set
of scenarios that can be used as a base for the evaluation of
different information-centric networking (ICN) approaches so that
they can be tested and compared against each other while showcasing
their own advantages. Towards this end, we review the ICN literature
and document scenarios which have been considered in previous
performance evaluation studies. We discuss a variety of aspects that
an ICN solution can address. This includes general aspects, such as,
network efficiency, reduced complexity, increased scalability and
reliability, mobility support, multicast and caching performance,
real-time communication efficiency, energy consumption frugality, and
disruption and delay tolerance. We detail ICN-specific aspects as
well, such as information security and trust, persistence,
availability, provenance, and location independence.

Research Group (ICNRG).
