Abstract
One embodiment provides a system that facilitates an efficient transport protocol. During operation, the system receives a first interest which indicates a query for optimal transport parameters, wherein a name for an interest is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level, wherein the query is based on a name prefix that includes one or more contiguous name components. The system computes the optimal parameters based on historical information associated with the name prefix. The system transmits a first response which includes the computed optimal parameters to a requesting entity, thereby facilitating a transport protocol which increases network efficiency.
Claims20
A computer system for facilitating an efficient transmission of content using a transport protocol, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a first interest which indicates a query for optimal transport parameters, wherein a name for an interest is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level, wherein the query is based on a name prefix that includes one or more contiguous name components;
- computing the optimal transport parameters based on historical information associated with the name prefix;
- and
- transmitting a first response which includes computed optimal parameters to a requesting entity, thereby facilitating a transport protocol which increases network efficiency.
The computer system of claim of 1, wherein the first interest further indicates a bid or payment for available resources, and wherein the method further comprises:
- in response to the first interest, determining an allocation of the resources based on the bid or based on the bid and bids indicated in interests from other requesting entities,
- wherein the first response further includes a result of the resource allocation determination.
A computer system for facilitating transmission of content using a transport protocol, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- generating a first interest which indicates a query for optimal transport parameters, wherein a name for an interest is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level, wherein the query is based on a name prefix that includes one or more contiguous name components;
- transmitting the first interest to a responding entity, which causes the responding entity to compute the optimal transport parameters based on historical information associated with the name prefix;
- and
- in response to receiving from the responding entity a first response which includes computed optimal parameters, performing an operation that increases network efficiency based on the historical information, thereby facilitating a transport protocol which increases network efficiency.
The computer system of claim of 11, wherein the method further comprises:
- indicating in the first interest a bid or payment for available resources,
- wherein the first response further includes a result of a resource allocation determination by the responding entity based on the bid or based on the bid and bids indicated in interests from other requesting entities.
