This Recommendation describes the scenarios and requirements for deployment of informationcentric networks (ICNs). The deployment supports flexible methods for deploying various ICN instances on a single network service provider (NSP) network@ deploying an ICN instance over multiple NSP networks@ and interoperating between different ICN instances. This Recommendation describes scenarios and common requirements for the deployment of ICNs. It also presents the framework for the deployment. This Recommendation covers the following: ?C scenarios of the deployment of an ICN; ?C requirements of the deployment of an ICN and its key components; ?C framework for the deployment of an ICN.
