Towards early deployable Content-Centric Networking enhanced by using IPv6

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is promising as a future communication paradigm to exchange contents without specifying address of nodes. However, deployment of CCN from clean-slate would take a long time since all routing facilities are needed to be replaced. For early deployment of CCN it is feasible to use the current Internet infrastructure as much as possible, and achieve minimum modifications of applications and/or end nodes. Based on such background we propose a novel approach which enables to deploy CCN rapidly with extremely small modifications compared to other approaches. Our solution is based on the use of IPv6 network as a lower layer routing scheme. To realize we design some important components such as Name Mapper and Address Mapper. We also discuss about a deployment scenario for early adaptation of CCN in IPv6 networks.
