A Brief Introduction to Content Centric Networks

Currently, scalable network architectures are constantly growing, so, applications related to the Internet have grown exponentially, which produces a large amount of data that is heterogeneous in a context where all the actors under the Internet of Things, Big Data, and Machine Learning context are interconnecting. However, this excess of information generated by social networks has become a relevant problem, since service providers send large volumes of additional content and advertisements to their clients. This event, in turn, worries customers as it decreases the likelihood of being able to read these messages, resulting in overloading the data network and causing network congestion. Accurate content management requiring to manage this problem. Undoubtedly, the concern is to provide accurate information to the user and manage large volumes of user information and content. Thus, content-centric networks must allow access requirements to be met, as well as content delivery. This type of networking uses data names instead of host names and allows caching in network management. The CCN uses a transmission method to deliver the content request in the form of a packet. The main reason for this article is the network focused on content, its way of managing content, and the strategies that exist to address the problem raised above.
