Abstract: Systems and techniques for information-centric network namespace policy-based content delivery are described herein. A registration request may be received from a node on an information-centric network (ICN). Credentials of the node may be validated. The node may be registered with the ICN based on results of the validation. A set of content items associated with the node may be registered with the ICN. An interest packet may be received from a consumer node for a content item of the set of content items that includes an interest packet security level for the content item. Compliance of the security level of the node with the interest packet security level may be determined. The content item may be transmitted to the consumer node.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for efficient remote function execution in an information centric network (ICN) are described herein. For example, a requestor node may transmit an admission probe interest packet. Here, the admission probe interest packet includes a name that includes a function.

The manifest includes a metric of function execution at a node that created the manifest data packet. The manifest also includes a name of an implementation of the function.

Abstract: System and techniques for base station assisted Information Centric Network (ICN) are described herein. A mobile network base station receives an ICN packet from a user equipment (UE). The mobile network base station identifies an aggregate packet data unit (PDU) session with a user plane function (UPF) ICN gateway (ICN-GW) hosted in a mobile network core network (CN) for the ICN packet. Then, the mobile network base station transmits the ICN packet via the aggregate PDU session.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for Information Centric Network (ICN) packet transmission control are described herein. An interest (or data) packet may be received at an ICN router. Here, the packet includes quality of service (QoS) information. For an interest packet, the ICN router creates a pending interest table (PIT) entry for the packet. The ICN router determines that it does not have a route for the packet. Thus, if it is an interest packet, there is no forward route in a forwarding information base (FIB). If it is a data packet, there is no corresponding PIT entry. However, after extracting the QoS information from the packet, the ICN router broadcasts the packet in accordance with the QoS information.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for adaptive collaborative memory with the assistance of programmable networking devices. Under one example, the programmable networking device is a switch that is deployed in a system or cluster of servers comprising a plurality of nodes. The switch selects one or more nodes to be remote memory server nodes and allocate one or more portions of memory on those nodes to be used as remote memory for one or more remote memory client nodes. The switch receives memory access request messages originating from remote memory client nodes containing indicia identifying memory to be accessed, determines which remote memory server node is to be used for servicing a given memory access request, and sends a memory access request message containing indicia identifying memory to be accessed to the remote memory server node that is determined. The switch also facilitates return of messages containing remote memory access responses to the client nodes.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a node of a data centric network (DCN) may receive a first service request interest packet from another node of the DCN, the first service request interest packet indicating a set of functions to be performed on source data to implement a service. The node may determine that it can perform a particular function of the set of functions, and determine, based on a backlog information corresponding to the particular function, whether to commit to performing the particular function or to forward the service request interest packet to another node. The node may make the determination further based on service delivery information indicating, for each face of the node, a service delivery distance for implementing the set of functions.
