Abstract
There is provided a method in a serving node of an information centric network, the method comprising: receiving an interest message referring to a first content object from a requesting node; processing the name of the first content object and the payload of the received interest message to generate the name of a second content object; and replying to the interest message with a redirect message, wherein the redirect message comprises the name of the second content object.

A method in a serving node of an information centric network, the method comprising:
- receiving an interest message referring to a first content object from a requesting node;
- processing the name of the first content object and the payload of the received interest message to generate the name of a second content object;
- and
- replying to the interest message with a redirect message, wherein the redirect message comprises the name of the second content object.
A serving node of an information centric network, the serving node comprising an interface, a processor, and a local content store, the serving node arranged to:
- receive an interest message on the interface, the interest message referring to a first content object and received from a requesting node;
- process the name of the first content object and the payload of the received interest message in the processor to generate the name of a second content object;
- and
- reply to the interest message via the interface with a redirect message, wherein the redirect message comprises the name of the second content object.
A method in a requesting node of an information centric network, the method comprising:
- sending an interest message referring to a first named content object;
- receiving a redirect message in reply, wherein the redirect message comprises the name of a second content object;
- and
- sending a new interest message to retrieve the second content object.
A requesting node of an information centric network, the requesting node comprising an interface, and a processor, the requesting node arranged to:
- send an interest message via the interface, the interest message referring to a first content object;
- receive via the interface a redirect message in reply to the interest message, wherein the redirect message comprises the name of a second content object;
- and
- send a new interest message via the interface, the new interest message referring to the second content object.
A method in a serving node of an information centric network, the method comprising:
- receiving an interest message referring to a named content object from a requesting node;
- and
- replying to the interest message with a redirect message, wherein the redirect message comprises the name of another node to which the interest message should be directed.
