SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT NAME-BASED CONTENT ROUTING USING LINK-STATE INFORMATION IN INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKS

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for updating link-status information associated with a prefix in an information-centric network (ICN). During operation, a first node in the ICN receives a link-state advertisement (LSA) message from a neighbor node with the LSA message specifying a prefix and an anchor node advertising the specified prefix. The system determines, based on topology information stored on the first node, whether a shortest-path condition is met, and forwards the received LSA message to other neighbors of the first node in response to the shortest-path condition being met.

1. A computer-executable method for updating link-status information associated with a prefix in an information-centric network (ICN), the method comprising:
receiving, by a first node in the ICN, a link-state advertisement (LSA) message from a neighbor node, wherein the LSA message specifies a prefix and an anchor node advertising the specified prefix; determining, based on topology information stored on the first node, whether a shortest-path condition is met; and in response to the shortest-path condition being met, forwarding the received LSA message to other neighbors of the first node.
