SYSTEM AND METHOD TO FACILITATE ROBUST TRAFFIC LOAD BALANCING AND REMOTE ADAPTIVE ACTIVE QUEUE MANAGEMENT IN AN INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method is provided in one example embodiment and may include generating an interest message to be transmitted using each face of a plurality of faces associated with a node, wherein the interest message is to be discarded by each of a neighboring node of a plurality of neighboring nodes that receive the interest message; determining, for each face of the plurality of faces associated with the node, a one-hop propagation delay associated with each face of the plurality of faces; and selecting a particular face through which to transmit another interest message based, at least in part, on the one-hop propagation delay of the particular face and a number of pending interests associated with the particular face.
