COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKS AND IP NETWORKS
Abstract
Traditional IP network architecture has supported Internet development for decades, but it faces increasing limitations in the face of emerging application demands such as massive IoT, vehicular networks, and 6G services. This article presents a comparative analysis, based on scientific literature, between IP network management models and information-centric architectures, which are emerging as an alternative for a more efficient and flexible Internet. Fundamental aspects such as addressing, routing, traffic control, monitoring, security, scalability, and deployment strategies are addressed. The study identifies the main management challenges in both paradigms, highlighting how the ICN model enables native content management, greater distribution efficiency, data-level security, and mobility support. In addition, use cases in dynamic environments such as IoT and IoV are analyzed, as well as hybrid IP-ICN integration scenarios using technologies such as SDN. This work provides a clear overview of the state of the art and highlights the opportunities and challenges that must be addressed for an effective transition to content-centric networks.
