Abstract
A method of enabling access to content in a network implementing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is described, the method including accessing a content addressing file including entries each comprising a content portion location associated with the content portion. The content portion location associated with the content portion is extracted for an entry and, based on the content portion location, a section of an IPv6 address for the content portion is formed. Methods of addressing content for storage and retrieving content are also described.

A method of addressing content for storage in a storage node of a network implementing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the method comprising:
- receiving content from a content source;
- associating metadata with the received content;
- generating an IPv6 address for the content wherein the IPv6 address incorporates an identifier of the content and the metadata;
- and
- storing the content associated with the generated IPv6 address in the storage node of the network.
