SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTENT-ORIENTED NETWORK INTERWORKING

摘要

A content-oriented communications network includes an ingress gateway (220) in communication with a legacy client (205) of a first legacy communications network, and an egress gateway (225) in communication with the ingress gateway (220) and a legacy server (210) of a second legacy communications network. The ingress gateway (220) translates a content request of the legacy client (205) from a first legacy protocol to a content-oriented protocol and translates a content reply received in response to the content request from the content-oriented protocol to the first legacy protocol. The egress gateway (225) translates the content request from the content-oriented protocol to a second legacy protocol and translates the content reply received in response to the content request from the second legacy protocol to the content-oriented protocol.
