Abstract
The new generation of applications is following the trend of user-centricity where users are not seen just as consumers, but are active participants, sometimes being the application itself. Likewise, the trend of content or information-centricity is already being adopted, where content and no longer location is being the main driver of network-based operations, more specifically of routing operations. This chapter analyzes the main limitations of current Internet architecture to support such trends and consequently provides an overview of the emergent Information-centric Networking (ICN) paradigm, addressing design principles, evolution scenarios and potentialities. Furthermore, the main research initiatives conducted in the last years concerning the ICN paradigm are presented and discussed.
