ACCOUNTABLE CONTENT STORES FOR INFORMATION CENTRIC NETWORKS

摘要

A set of Content Store nodes of an information-centric network (ICN) can cache data, and can processes an Interest for this data based on a domain assigned to the requested data. During operation, a CS node can receive a Content Object that is to be cached, and processes the Content Object by determining a domain associated with the Content Object. The CS node selects a storage repository associated with the domain, and stores the Content Object in the selected repository. The CS node can also receive an Interest for a piece of content, and processes the Interest by performing a lookup operation for a rule associated with the Interest's name. The rule can include a set of commands for performing a programmatic operation. Then, if the CS node finds a matching rule, the CS node can execute the rule's commands to perform the programmatic operation.
