CCN: CONTENT CENTRIC NETWORKS

A FUTURE INTERNET ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

Recently networks are thought as a source of communication between people. With the passage
of time use of network has further evolved, to share documents, files and various other adept things
between two or multiple users. Up till this network technology only speaks about connections between
hosts. But now, network use is evolved and dominated by content distribution and retrieval. People are
more concerned with content despite of location of content. User’s philosophy and thinking is evolved
for mapping from where (user requirement) to what (traditional network concern). We present Content
Centric Networking (CCN), which caters latest requirements and thinking of users. This approach treats
content as a primitive, and decouples location from its identity. User now access content by its name
despite of its location.

Key Words: Networks, Communication, Content, Content


Centric Networking

Problem Statement

Currently, Networks communication is dependent on TCP/IP Protocol. Every host, server,


receiver or data item is assigned dynamic unique IP address. TCP is the driving protocol for defined
network packet or for concerned communication. This traditional methodology is equipped with various
location dependent problems. Problems include the latency, mobility and availability of required data
packets. We are going to address these problems in this paper. In result we are thinking to present new
architecture in the form of CCN (Content Centric Networks) Architecture. This architecture overruns the
traditional IP in various ways. Despite of considering the data items with their IP’s, data items are
thought to called or referred from their unique hierarchical names.

Background to the Problem

Today’s Internet principles and architecture was engineered and created in the 1960s and 70s [1].
The encouraging factor for development of this traditional networks at that time was resource sharing.
Sharing of expensive and rare devices like card readers or high speed tape drivers or even super
computers. The underlay communication model developed after these initial concerns was strict
communication model between exactly two machines. One machine asking to use the resources and
other is giving access to it. So the first Internet Protocol TCP/IP was made to fulfill initial requirements
of the users and giving them way to communicate with one another [2]. Primarily, keeping in view the
first requirement of communication between two machines or hosts, IP (Internet P r o t o c o l ) p a c k e t
h a s t w o i d e n t i f i e r s o r addresses. One is designated for source or sending node, which represents
the identification and address of source node. And other is designated for destination node,
which will represent the identification and address of destination node. IP is only for the identification
of source and destination node, and all the remaining communication between nodes is done through
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) [3].

The simplest and easiest way to solve this problem is to replace where with what. Host to host
communication for exchanging data was the traditional consideration considered in 1960s and 70s. We
argue that named data is the better abstraction for today’s communication problems then named hosts.
Research Design

In this paper we will consider the challenges in TCP/IP architecture very deeply. All the
problems related to location dependency will be considered. These problems are the encouraging factors
for the creation of new modern networks architecture.

Traditionally Networks were thought as a communication between two machines or to share the
resources of networks. Complete network is totally location dependent, and TCP/IP plays the vital role
in order to cater the requirements and needs of the users. With the changing demands and
requirements of the users, it became difficult to manage all requirements with the help of TCP/IP. CCN
(Content Centric Networks) presents the paradigm shift in the world of networks. Satisfies the changing
demands and requirements of current users in a very dynamic way. CCN architecture overruns the
traditional IP networks in various ways. It offers Strategy and Security Layers which accommodates the
users to use various mediums of communication simultaneously and at higher improved security.
