TCN supports cooperative data work without significant performance loss.
Abstract
Today's Internet is heavily used for multimedia streaming from cloud backends, while the Internet of Things (IoT) reverses the traditional data flow, with high data volumes produced at the network edge. Information Centric Networking (ICN) advocates against a host-centric communication model which is promising for distributed edge computing environments and the execution of IoT applications in a decentralized fashion. By using naming schemes, data is tightly coupled to names instead of hosts which simplifies discovery and access to data and services. However, the tight coupling challenges network performance due to additional synchronization overhead of large data volumes and services. We present Tangle Centric Networking (TCN) -- a decentralized data structure for coordinated distributed applications and data exchange following principles of ICN. TCN can react on data and service…
