Abstract: An integrated network architecture can provide information centric and Internet Protocol processing. The integrated network architecture can comprise a packet core that supports packet processing for information centric network packets and Internet Protocol packets, a service core that comprises services supporting a plurality of different operation modes that can be enabled and disabled independently (including an access operation mode, an edge operation mode, a core operation mode, and a proxy operation mode), a client management service that supports network client mobility between network devices, and/or a cache management service that supports cache lookup and cache update services.
