Enhanced forwarding engine for content-centric networking (CCN)

While majority of Internet traffic is fast becoming of high quality multimedia variety, efficient sharing of such multimedia traffic with intuitive usability and strong privacy protection remains an elusive goal. CCN is considered a promising networking technology which supports end-to-content communication paradigm instead of existing end-to-end communication. Although an open source implementation of CCN protocol is available, it is still in its early concept prototype stage. In this paper, we propose an enhanced CCN forwarding engine to support practical deployment of various CCN-enabled applications and services, thus demonstrating the full potential of CCN benefit. This paper also presents experimental results obtained by prototype implementation to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed approach.
