Information-Centric Networking : Content-Centric Networking and Named Data Networking Terminology
RFC 8793, “Information-Centric Networking : Content-Centric Networking and Named Data Networking Terminology”, is an Informational document published in June 2020 by B. Wissingh, C. Wood, A. Afanasyev, L. Zhang, D. Oran, C. Tschudin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a novel 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 (CCNx) 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 implementations of ICN. While there are other ICN architectures, they are not part of the NDN and CCNx concepts and as such are out of scope for this document. This document is a product of the Information-Centric Networking Research Group (ICNRG).
