Summary

Recommendation ITU-T F.746.6 describes the requirements for a flexible name resolution service in information-centric networks (ICN). It also describes the functional modules, i.e., name resolution service access control module, namespace management module, interoperation module and resolution engine module, of name resolution service in ICN. The name resolution service can support name resolution for any particular ICN instance independently. It also can facilitate interoperation between ICN instances with their own namespaces.
