ACCOUNTABLE CONTENT STORES FOR INFORMATION CENTRIC NETWORKS

摘要

A set of content store nodes of an information-centric network (ICN) can cache the data and process an interest for this data based on a domain assigned to the requested data. During operation, a CS node receives a content object that is to be cached, and processes the content object by determining a domain associated with the content object. The CS node selects a storage repository associated with the domain, and stores the content object in the selected repository. The CS node also receives an interest for a piece of content, and processes the interest by performing a lookup operation for a rule associated with the interests name. The rule includes a set of commands to perform a programmatic operation. Afterwards, if the CS node finds a matching rule, the CS node executes commands of the rule to perform the programmatic operation.
