The integration of various low-cost smart devices such as sensors and actuators, and the rapid development of wireless communication technologies enabling small and low-cost objects to connect to the Internet have resulted in the rise in the deployment of IoT where physical objects are changing to smart objects in everyday life. Besides IP-based approaches such as the one presented in Ref. [5], ICN solutions can be applied to develop the emergence of IoT and its related applications. ICN is characterized as a concept in order to name content and locate information at the center of the architecture [6] rather than depending on the IP host identifiers. The principal idea is to completely change the Internet to a more generic and simpler architecture [7]. ICN can support various IoT scenarios and overcome their current limitations by utilizing its advantages in order to deploy various applications in heterogeneous environments such as smart homes and smart cities [8]. It can also be used as a framework to connect different objects with sensing capabilities to provide multiple services in the IoT environments. Moreover, the use of ICN can reduce the energy consumption in the IoT era [9].

ICN is a novel networking paradigm centered around content, unlike the current Internet architecture which follows a host-centric concept. This new approach enables new networking features such as naming, caching and securing content objects, which match some of the generic requirements generally associated to the Internet of Things. Notwithstanding, it is a recent and continuously evolving paradigm, initially conceived for content distribution scenarios. Exposing the ICN concepts to the heterogeneous applications and scenarios commonly associated with the IoT is expected to expand ICN mechanisms while empowering novel ways of IoT utilization. The current section explores the opportunities of using ICN for IoT deployments as well as the potential challenges that the underlying networking operations of ICN may impose over key aspects of IoT.

Content providers, of any size, can clearly benefit from ICN, as they will be able to make their content available to every consumer in the world by publishing it only once. Equally important for content providers is the promise of ICN to distribute content quickly and reliably. Content providers today have to pay CDNs, like Akamai, for good quality in content distribution. With ICN aspiring to replace CDNs, content providers can in theory forego that cost. It is conceivable that content providers will pay network operators, instead of CDNs, not just for connectivity but also for ICN deployment. On this point though, the incentives are becoming confusing and deals between providers and operators must be scrutinized before benefits are clarified. But if content providers will only be reaping benefits from ICN without paying to deploy ICN and maintain it, some other stakeholders will have to take over that burden. Wide market reach and premium quality distribution might be good incentives for content providers to support ICN, but they will also need to bill their customers and to control their service. This means that ICN should expose logging and management interfaces, which are somewhat still neglected in current ICN research.
In-network caching in information-centric networks for different applications: A survey
Published in Cogent Engineering, 2023
ICN is emerging and promising as a future Internet model that has shifted from host-based communication to the user-driven data retrieval (Borgia et al., 2022). The foundation of the ICN can be started from TRIAC (Cheriton & Gritter, 2000). The next development is Data-Oriented Network Architecture (DONA) (Koponen et al., 0000), and the closest related technologies are Content-Centric Networking (CCN) () or Named Data Networking (NDN) (). In ICN, users are only interested in what content is instead of where the content comes from (G. Zhang et al., 2013b). Inspired by the fact that the current Internet’ demand is increasing for data dissemination instead of using host-to-host communication, ICN aims to reflect the urgency of a new alternative model to use better than the existing architecture. The interest-oriented networking uses the dynamic content caching to enable reliable and scalable content delivery by naming information at the network layer, therefore it accelerates the efficient and timely delivery of information to the end-users. However, there is more than one approach to the distribution of ICN initiatives related to research using the perception of information, such as the means to solve a series of additional restrictions on the Internet architecture (e.g. mobility management and security enforcement) (Xylomenos et al., 2014). A key feature of ICN is to take advantage of the feature of in-network caching to improve the efficiency of content dissemination and information retrieval from the network entities. From caching point of view, ICN cache has several new characteristics, such as cache transparency to applications, cache ubiquity, and fine-granularity of cached content, which are different from Web caching and CDN caching (Caldeira et al., 2015; Chai et al., 2013; H. Lee & Nakao, 2013). Beside the opportunities to the development of ICN caching technology, this feature pose some challenges involving caching dimensioning, caching sharing mechanism, and caching decision policy.

The internet applications of current time is extremely sensitive to access delay in one hand and data hungry on the other (Chegini and Mahanti 2019; Cisco Systems, 2019; Talluri et al. 2021). Users are more particular about retrieval speed of the desired content rather than access location. In such situations, the end users could be served better if the underlying network allows to obtain the requested content from any of the source without necessarily relying on the actual producer of the data. Certainly, authenticity and security need to be preserved for such data retrievals. The ICN (Jacobson et al. 2012; Xylomenos et al. 2014) is envisioned to enable access of data from anywhere keeping in mind all the necessary security precautions. The ICN is focused on reducing content delivery latency and increasing throughput by enabling content (Data) serving to the client from any data store in the network instead of relying only on data producers (or actual servers). In order to do so, it suggests several changes in the current Internet architecture like unique content naming, name based routing, self-secured data, etc. Consumers or clients in the network search a content (data) by specifying the content name instead of using host IP address of the content producer as in traditional TCP/IP network. Any node in the network having the requested content may serve the requester by sending the data to it. As a potential future architecture, the ICN opens up ample of opportunities to research as none of the protocols are matured enough. Out of many such areas of research, naming (Mangili, Martignon, and Capone 2015), caching (Abdullahi, Arif, and Hassan 2015; Mick, Tourani, and Misra 2016; Nguyen et al. 2019), routing (Banerjee, Kulkarni, and Seetharam 2018; Coulom 2007; Detti et al. 2018; Modesto and Boukerche 2018; Wang et al. 2012) and security (Goleman, Boyatzis, and Mckee 2019, 2019) are few of the topics that is drawing attention of many researchers. The work discussed in this paper is focused on ICN routing in general and forwarding Interest packets in particular. Following, a brief description of data retrieval in ICN in Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture (Jacobson et al. 2012).
