Communication apparatus and method of content router to control traffic transmission rate in content-centric network (CCN), and content router

摘要

A communication apparatus and method of a content router control a traffic transmission rate in a content-centric network (CCN), and the content router. In the communication method and the content router, a congestion of a network may be predicted, a warning signal indicating the congestion may be added to an interest packet, and the interest packet with the warning signal may be transmitted. Additionally, a traffic transmission rate may be controlled by adjusting a data packet transmission time based on a value of a marked field of a PIT. The PIT is set by receiving an interest packet to which a warning signal is added. Thus, the communication apparatus and method thereof provide reachability, while maintaining stability of network routing.
