COMMUNICATION METHOD OF TARGET NODE TO PREFETCH SEGMENTS OF CONTENT IN CONTENT-CENTRIC NETWORK (CCN) AND TARGET NODE

摘要

A target node and a communication method of using a target node that is configured to prefetch a segment of content in a Content-Centric Network (CCN) are provided. A communication method involving a target node configured to prefetch a segment of content in a Content-Centric Network (CCN) involves: receiving, from a previous node, a predetermined content-request packet requesting a predetermined segment of a content; determining a prefetching window size based on a number of segments in response to the predetermined content-request packet, the segments being prefetched based on a name of the content; generating a content-request packet that requests each of the segments based on the prefetching window size; and transmitting the generated content-request packet to a next node.
