Advancements and Challenges in Networking Technologies: A Comprehensive Survey

This survey paper provides a comprehensive overview of emerging technologies in networking, focusing on caching in Information-Centric Networking (ICN), context-aware radio access technology (RAT) selection in 5G ultra-dense networks, cryptocurrency adoption, and mobility support for routing in Low Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs). Adaptive RAT selection mechanisms are stressed in 5G context-aware RAT selection. RAT selection processes address context acquisition, decision-making algorithms, and resource allocation. 5G context-aware RAT selection study is suggested. The report then discusses bitcoin adoption, including its current state and benefits. Scalability, security, and regulation are difficulties. Future studies should address these issues and increase cryptocurrency adoption. Finally, LLN mobility support investigates routing techniques for mobility needs. LLN reactive and proactive routing protocols are analyzed. LLN routing mobility support research is suggested. This survey article discusses techniques, difficulties, and future research by summarizing each technology. To help researchers and practitioners make educated judgments and enhance networking technologies.
