Abstract
Deploying alternative networks such as Information Centric Network (ICN) in a production/commercial network with real users is challenging due to the experimental nature of these novel proposals. To meet these challenges, we adopted an ICN-IP dual stack approach. However, this was at the cost of introducing unpredictable emergent behavior. This behavior can be dealt with by a set of requirements presented in this paper. These requirements specify a constraining discipline on the deployment and operational processes for the dual stack making such processes tractable. The requirements are extracted from our experience of a lab deployment followed by a field deployment with real users as part of the three-year long EU-funded architectuRe for an Internet For Every-body (RIFE) project. We summarize them in a form that can be used by other practitioners in their own ICN/alternative network stack deployments and by tool developers for such deployments. These presented requirements compliment the current discussions within the Centric Networking Research Group (ICNRG) of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
