CCN

The CCN app is built on the principles of Content Centric Networking (CCN), a paradigm that emphasizes content by making it directly addressable and routable. This approach offers several key advantages over traditional IP networking, including stateful forwarding, which supports efficient information retrieval without the need for tunneling or location registration protocols. CCN enables in-network caching, processing, and intelligent packet forwarding, optimizing content retrieval and allowing data to be easily accessed from on-path caches.

One of the primary benefits of CCN is its ability to support client devices using multiple network attachments simultaneously, enhancing reliability and performance. This design is particularly suited for large-data and IoT applications, where efficient data management is crucial. Additionally, CCN's architecture supports non-IP network protocols, making it a promising candidate for next-generation technologies.

The CCN app leverages these capabilities to provide a robust networking solution. It allows for the deployment of native CCN applications, which can benefit from tunnel-free and anchorless networking, reducing latency and improving efficiency. Furthermore, existing IP-based applications can be supported through a mobility management solution that simplifies the complexities associated with traditional LTE-EPC networks. This approach eliminates the need for network slicing and the overhead of running parallel core networks, making it an attractive option for enhancing network performance and efficiency.
