HEADER COMPRESSION FOR CCN MESSAGES USING DICTIONARY LEARNING

摘要

One embodiment provides a system in a first node that facilitates efficient packet forwarding. During operation, the system identifies a type, length, and value (TLV) string in a packet and, in response, generates a compressed representation of the TLV string. The system stores the compressed representation for the TLV string in an entry of a learned dictionary in a storage device of the first node. The system then sends the entry to a second node and, in response, receives an acknowledgement from the second node. If the system identifies the TLV string in a subsequent second packet of the acknowledgement, the system compresses the TLV string in the second packet based on the compressed representation.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for efficient packet forwarding, the method comprising:
generating a compressed representation of a type, length, and value (TLV) string in response to identifying the TLV string in a packet; storing the compressed representation for the TLV string in an entry of a learned dictionary in a storage device of a first node; receiving, by the first node, an acknowledgement from a second node in response to sending the entry to the second node; and in response to identifying the TLV string in a subsequent second packet of the acknowledgement, compressing the TLV string in the second packet based on the compressed representation.
