Assessment of Benefits and Drawbacks of ICN for IoT Applications

According to its creators, ICN is designed to fit the way we use the internet better than IP currently does. The use of named data and distributed network layer caching may provide a more efficient utilization of network resources due to the stateful forwarding plane which allows data to be retrieved from caches close by the requester, while also providing a higher content delivery performance in terms of content retrieval delay. Since the IoT is expected to connect billions of devices to the internet, a resource-efficient network paradigm is needed to cope with the corresponding enormous traffic increase. IoT deployments also typically follow a distributed data generation and retrieval paradigm, which could benefit from ICN’s in-network caching approach and stateful forwarding logic. This thesis focuses on assessing whether ICN is advantageous for the IoT in these aspects, by comparing an ICN approach to an IP approach for IoT applications.
