This memo describes research challenges for Information-Centric
Networking. Information-Centric Networking is an approach to evolve
the Internet infrastructure to directly support information
distribution by introducing uniquely named data as a core Internet
principle. Data becomes independent from location, application,
storage, and means of transportation, enabling in-network caching and
replication. Challenges include naming, security, routing, system
scalability, mobility management, wireless networking, transport
services, in-network caching, and network management.
