The Internet usage has witnessed a huge development in the recent years, with enormous users pressing needs for accessing huge amounts of information, regardless of its physical location thus requesting more mobility with better security. To consider the needs, shift, the researchers worked to introduce a new communication model, which is information-centric networking (ICN). ICN focuses on the content being exchanged rather than which hosts or network entities are exchanging information. Thus, the network shifts from host-centric to content-centric. In this survey, author analyze, compare, contrast, and identify the key weaknesses in the naming mechanisms proposed by ICN.
