SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ICN-WITHIN-IP NETWORKING

摘要

An ICN-over-IP architecture, which supports ICN-dependent IP addresses, is provided as an integrated architecture requiring small changes within the network, utilizing the incrementally introduced ICN-enabled IP routers efficiently where ICN-enabled IP routers are distributed within/across domains and are capable of coordinating among others based on domain or ICN imposed policies. System, devices and methods are provided achieving improved performance with the introduction of additional ICN-enabled IP routers within/across domains, and continuing to perform efficiently by relying on the principles of the current IP forwarding and taking advantage of IP's currently available features.
