A routing device includes a routing table. The routing table has a set of entries, each entry including: a content name attribute containing a content name value identifying a content, a faces attribute containing a faces value identifying a set of devices storing data related to the content name value, and a mask type attribute containing a mask type value identifying a type of mask to be used for performing a routing table lookup. The routing device is configured to perform a routing table lookup, the routing table lookup including the use of the mask type value of an entry to determine a covering relation between the content name value of the said entry and a content name value to be searched. The routing device is further configured to update the routing table depending on the determined covering relation. |
