Abstract
In the past decades, there have been traditional network architectures that were responsible for routing data between various nodes using different types of IP addresses through a router using different types of routable protocols such as TCP/IP. But these networks presented a problem with respect to the management of large volumes of information. Faced with this situation, the Telco industry proposes a network structure called Information Centered Networks (ICN), which is a part of the Content Centered Network paradigm. The ICN help distribute and retrieve content on the network once they are requested by the user, which allows independence in the location and storage of this cached content in its various ICN nodes. In turn, the ICN architectures use protocols that allow the unique assignment and sending of data objects when making use of the respective network. Hence, the goal of the ICN topology is to deliver these data objects to users located in the network, in contrast to networks that use TCP/IP protocols and in which communications is carried out between the various nodes of the network. The main objective of this article is to familiarize users by comparing different proposed ICN architectures, as well as network caching and ICN transformation.
