US 2017/0257314 A1 · PROTOCOL TO QUERY FOR HISTORICAL NETWORK INFORMATION IN A CONTENT CENTRIC NETWORK

Abstract

One embodiment provides a system that facilitates querying of historical network information. During operation, the system generates a query for historical information associated with interest and content object packets, 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 transmits the query to a responding entity. In response to receiving the historical information from the responding entity, the system performs an operation that increases network efficiency based on the historical information, thereby facilitating a protocol for querying the historical information to increase network efficiency.

Dependent claims

A computer system for facilitating querying of historical network information, 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 query for historical information associated with interest and corresponding content object packets, wherein a name for an interest packet 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 query to a responding entity;
and
in response to receiving the historical information from the responding entity, performing an operation that increases network efficiency based on the historical information, thereby facilitating a protocol for querying the historical information to increase network efficiency.

A computer system for facilitating querying of historical network information, 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 query from a requesting entity for historical information associated with interest and corresponding content object packets, wherein a name for an interest packet 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;
in response to authenticating the requesting entity, transmitting the queried historical information, which causes the requesting entity to perform an operation to increase network efficiency based on the historical information, thereby facilitating a protocol for querying the historical information to increase network efficiency.
