Prototyping an Information-Centric Network for IoT

This paper presents the design of an information-centric network prototype that forms the basis for working with Internet of Things devices. The proposal seeks to conveniently separate the functionalities of information-centric networking from those that are typical of IoT. The prototype design focus is on the development of a generic ICNIoT node capable of implementing the most expensive features of the information-centric networking, such as forwarding, caching and other advanced processing functions. The result of the implementation allows interaction between different protocols through the same convergence layer, enabling the exchange of messages between lower and upper layers of the OSI reference model.
