Embodiments describe enhancing bi-directional communication in an information centric computer network through a piggyback session, which comprises mapping requests for data received to content, sending at least one piggyback packet to a remote node, wherein a piggyback packet is a data packet comprising a request field and a content field, receiving at least one piggyback packet from the remote node, and processing the piggyback packets. Processing may comprise splitting the request field and the content field in at least one received piggyback packet, sending the content extracted from the received piggyback packet to a client application running on the computing apparatus and setting one or more events to trigger the processing of at least one piggyback packet. Additional embodiments describe the structure of a piggyback packet and the management of a piggyback session at a router device by validating incoming piggyback packets and determining a recipient accordingly. |
