Content-Centric Networks

Abstract

Due to the early stage in development, content-centric networking (CCN) and its variants e.g., named-data network (NDN), are undergoing rigorous modifications to make them applicable to various future networks. In the previous chapter, we discussed the basic working principle of CCN as well as different CCN-based solutions for diverse application scenarios. In this chapter, we identify future research aspects and the issues that have been partially addressed or have not been properly tackled by researchers. In addition, we also provide a road map for researchers of the relevant field.
