Information centric networking for media distribution: will it blend?

Abstract

Information Centric Networking's natural "sweet spot" is the distribution of content. One of the largest sources of content is entertainment media, which is today processed, published and delivered using conventional file processing tools and content distribution networks. This talk looks at the entire media production and distribution process and tries to assess whether, and if so where, ICN architectures have the potential to make major improvements over the solutions available today.
