Let me start with the big picture.
Networking is evolving from a host-centric, IP-style model to a more content-oriented model, because future applications demand large-scale content delivery with strict latency and availability requirements.
In that context, Information-Centric Networking, or ICN, becomes an attractive candidate because it forwards based on names or identifiers and relies on in-network caching.
However, when ICN is implemented using a Name Resolution Service, the architecture becomes more scalable and flexible, but it also introduces a new attack surface—especially around resolution and forwarding state. |
