Towards a Network of Information

Abstract—This course presents the overall vision for a Network of Information (NetInf), illustrates the fundamental ideas, and explains the mechanisms currently under development that will bring about a major paradigm change in networking. After briefly reviewing relevant scenarios where the current host-centric approach to information storage and retrieval is ill-suited for, we introduce how a new networking paradigm emerges, by adopting the information-centric network architecture approach. We then present the architectural requirements for NetInf and the research directions taken so far. Finally, we describe NetInf operation, providing concrete examples and highlighting the performance improvement expected to materialize with the deployment of NetInf.
