SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A RELIABLE CONTENT EXCHANGE OF A CCN PIPELINE STREAM

摘要

A client device can establish a reliable content exchange (RCX) session with a hosting service over a Content Centric Network (CCN) to send a reliable pipelined flow of data to the hosting service. During operation, the client device can provide authentication information to the hosting service, and initiates an RCX control channel with the hosting service. The client device can select content to send to the hosting service, and uses the control channel to send an Exchange-initialization request that establishes an Exchange session for transferring the content to the hosting service. The Exchange-initialization request includes a collection name associated with the selected content, and an Exchange identifier (XID) for the Exchange session. The client device can then receive an Interest that requests a segment of the selected content over the Exchange session, and can return a Content Object whose payload includes the requested segment of the content.
