A HYBRID APPROACH WITH CLASSIFICATION FOR NAME RESOLUTION AND PRODUCER SELECTION IN ICN

摘要

The disclosure relates to technology for classifying a node in a network. Content published from one or more content producers in the network is received by the node comprising sufficient storage and processing capability to store and process the content received. It is then determined whether the node can receive additional content that is published for one or more other nodes in the network. A metric is calculated for paths from the node to each of the one or more content producers in the network in response to determining that additional content can be received by the node. The node is classified as a home node in the network in response to determining that the metric for paths of the node is shorter than a metric for paths of each of the one or more other nodes in the network.
