  Abstract

The existing IP-based network exchanges various types of data based on the data’s location in the network. However, general users have no concern about data location and interested in data itself. At the same time, modern development in networking require better data management solutions for scalability, security and mobility. This highlights the need for a new architecture. Information-centric networking (ICN) has been proposed to overcome the existing problems of current IP-based networking. The initial architectural idea of ICN has several approaches that follow the main idea of ICN but use different implementation solutions. In this article, we describe the main ICN platforms and their implementation specifications. We also address the main features, strong/weak points, and applications for ICN platforms. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first attempt to describe and compare various existing ICN platforms in the form of a single survey. By presenting detailed implementation specifications, features, strong/weak points, and applications for each ICN platform, we provide an overview of the various platforms existing in ICN. A broad understanding of the types of platforms in ICN will be valuable to users and engineers who are interested specifically in utilizing and customizing current ICN platforms.
