Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic compute orchestration include receiving, at a network node of an information centric network, a first interest packet comprising a name field indicating a named function and one or more constraints specifying compute requirements for a computing node to execute the named function, the first interest packet received from a client node. A plurality of computing nodes are identified that satisfy the compute requirements for executing the named function. The first interest packet is forwarded to at least some of the plurality of computing nodes. Data packets are received from at least some of the plurality of computing nodes in response to the first interest packet. One of the plurality of computing nodes is selected based on the received data packets, and a second interest packet is sent to the selected one of the plurality of computing nodes instructing the selected one of the plurality of compute nodes to execute the named function.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for dynamic computation in an information centric network (ICN) are described herein. An interest packet to perform a computation may be received at a first interface of an ICN node. The ICN node may then perform a lookup in a forwarding information base (FIB) to identify a second interface to forward the interest packet. The interest packet may be forwarded on the second interface. Upon receipt of a data packet on the second interface in response to the interest packet, the ICN node may update an entry in the FIB for the second interfaces with a processing payload included in the data packet. The ICN node may then transmit the data packet downstream towards the originator of the interest packet.
