SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELIMINATING UNDETECTED INTEREST LOOPING IN INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKS

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for correctly processing interests in an information-centric network (ICN). During operation, the system receives, by a first node in the ICN, an interest for a piece of content from a second node. The interest specifies a name of the content piece. The system determines, based on forwarding information and information associated with pending interests stored on the first node, whether a forwarding condition or an interest aggregation condition is satisfied. In response to the forwarding condition being satisfied, the system forwards the interest. In response to the interest aggregation condition being satisfied, the system aggregates the interest.

1. A computer-executable method for correctly processing interests in an information-centric network (ICN), the method comprising:
receiving, by a first node in the ICN, an interest for a piece of content from a second node, wherein the interest specifies a name of the content piece; determining, based on forwarding information and information associated with pending interests stored on the first node, whether a forwarding condition or an interest aggregation condition is satisfied; in response to the forwarding condition being satisfied, forwarding the interest; and in response to the interest aggregation condition being satisfied, aggregating the interest.
