Quality of Service Enabled Content Routing Method and Apparatus for Information Centric Networking

摘要

A network element, comprising a memory that comprises a pending interest table, a receiver operably coupled to the memory and configured to receive an extended interest message in an information centric network, a processor operably coupled to the receiver and memory and configured to determine a desired content according to the extended interest message, determine a prescribed quality of service (QoS) level requested for delivering the desired content to a client, record a path state in the memory, record a return route in the pending interest table of the memory, and determine a next location in the information centric network to which the extended interest message is to be sent, and a transmitter operably coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the extended interest message to the next location in the information centric network.

1. A network element, comprising:
a memory comprising a pending interest table; a receiver operably coupled to the memory and configured to receive an extended interest message in an information centric network; a processor operably coupled to the receiver and the memory and configured to:
determine a desired content according to the extended interest message;determine a prescribed quality of service (QoS) level requested for delivering the desired content to a client;record a path state in the memory;record a return route in the pending interest table of the memory, wherein the return route comprises a route through the information centric network to a return address of a previous location in the information centric network; anddetermine a next location in the information centric network to which the extended interest message is to be sent; and a transmitter operably coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the extended interest message to the next location in the information centric network.
