Abstract

During the past decades, serious efforts have been made to propose various architectures for the future Internet. Each of those architectures has one thing in common, i.e., to focus on content delivery rather than on host-centric approaches. However, only few of them gained popularity due to their possible applications being investigated. In this chapter, we describe the overview of various future Internet architectures such as data-oriented networking architecture, content-centric networking, named-data networking, publish/subscribe, and network of information. The main objective of this chapter is to allow our readers to become familiar with the transformation of these architectures.
