MULTI-NONCE ENABLED INTEREST PACKET DESIGN FOR NAMED-DATA NETWORKING

摘要

A router, and a method of routing an interest packet having multiple nonces in NDN to eliminate stale PIT entries. The method includes a consumer device initially sending an interest packet having a first nonce within a protocol data unit (PDU), the interest packet having a second nonce. A router receives the interest packet and creates a pending interest table (PIT) entry. The consumer device resends the interest packet, the router keeping a single PIT entry per consumer device and using the second nonce to clear PIT entries corresponding to the initial transmission of the consumer device. The first nonce is indicative of requested content from the producer device, and the second nonce is indicative of the consumer device.

1. A method of routing an interest packet in named-data networking (NDN), comprising:
a consumer device initially sending an interest packet having a first nonce within a protocol data unit (PDU), the interest packet having a second nonce; a router receiving the interest packet and creating a pending interest table (PIT) entry; and the consumer device resending the interest packet, the router keeping a single PIT entry per content name, and a single nonce within the PIT entry per consumer device and using the second nonce to clear PIT entries corresponding to the initial transmission of the consumer device.
