Abstract: A method of estimating a round-trip time (RTT) is provided. The method may include providing content requested by an interest packet with an identifier to identify a second node that sends the content to the first node, determining a processing time (PT) in which an interest packet is processed in the second node, based on an arrival time in which the content is received by the first node, evaluating an instantaneous RTT for the content received by the first node, based on an arrival time in which the content with the identifier is received at the first node, a sending time in which the interest packet is sent to the second node, or the determined PT, and estimating an RTT for the interest packet based on the evaluated instantaneous RTT.

Abstract: A method of caching a content in a node in a content-centric network, includes receiving, from a content requester, a content request packet requesting a first chunk of the content, and setting a mark bit indicating whether the node is to cache the first chunk when the first chunk is received. The method further includes receiving, from a content provider, a data packet including the first chunk in response to transmitting the content request packet to the content provider, and caching the first chunk.

Abstract: A method of delivering content includes receiving an interest packet including a plurality of requests in a content-centric networking (CCN), determining an availability of content for a first request among the plurality of requests in a content store (CS), fetching available pieces of content from the CS for a set of sequential requests starting from the first request among the plurality of requests in response to the content for the first request being available in the CS, the fetching comprising fetching available content for each remaining request subsequent to the first request among the sequential requests based on information from content identified for a request immediately preceding each remaining request, and delivering the fetched available pieces of content.

Abstract: Provided is a method of authenticating and verifying data packet transmission, and apparatuses for performing the same. The method and corresponding apparatus are configured to encode data packets through erasure coding. The method and corresponding apparatus are also configured to generate authentication packets for the encoded data packets based on hash images of the encoded data packets.

Abstract: A method of transmitting content to a content receiver and of receiving content from a content transmitted is provided. The method may include receiving, at a content transmitter, a content transmission request fragmenting a segmented content corresponding to the content transmission request into at least one frame, generating a header comprising a frame identifier for the at least one frame, and transmitting the at least one frame and the header to the content receiver.

Abstract: Provided is a node and a communication method of the node in a content oriented network (CON) in which the communication method of the node included in the CON may include receiving, at a receiver, a content request packet having a content name comprising hierarchical name components and flat name components, extracting the hierarchical name components and the flat name components from the content request packet, and processing the content request packet using the hierarchical name components and the flat name components.

Abstract: A method of transmitting a data packet from a content provider in a content-centric network CCN includes verifying whether a content request packet requesting a content identical to a content of a content request packet being received from a content requester is present in a pending interest table (PIT), increasing a value of a counter corresponding to the content request packet, comparing the value of the counter to a predetermined threshold value, and transmitting a data packet using a predefined broadcast media access control (MAC) address in response to the content request packet being received and the value of the counter being greater than or equal to the threshold value.

Abstract: Provided is a communication method of a node overhearing content in a content centric network (CCN) and the node, the communication method including, overhearing a content transmitted from a neighboring node, caching the overheard content, and providing the overheard content, in response to receiving a content request packet requesting the overheard content.

Abstract: A method of communication for a terminal in a content-centric network is provided. The method includes suspending a data message associated with a content from being provided to a face before a handover when the handover is expected to occur in the terminal that requests the content, and transmitting, to a hub, a new interest message after the handover associated with the content so that the hub may provide the data message associated with the content to the face after the handover.

Abstract: A communication method of a node in a content centric network, includes overhearing a content transmitted from another node, caching the overheard content, and providing the cached content in response to receiving a packet requesting the cached content.

Abstract: A communication method of a network node for internet protocol (IP) routing compatibility, includes generating a packet including a name of a content that includes first information indicating a location of the content, and second information identifying the content, and transmitting the generated packet.

Abstract: A method of transmitting a content reply packet from a content owner in content-centric networking (CCN) includes determining a caching capability value threshold (CCVth) for determining a candidate node for caching a content based on a policy of the content owner, and transmitting a content reply packet including the content and the CCVth in response to a content request packet from a content requester.

Abstract: Provided are communication devices and methods for requesting content in a network based on a hierarchical name structure. A content requester may search for content without the use of the entire content name in the network based on the hierarchical name structure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to process interest messages and data messages based on priorities in a Content-Centric Network (CCN) are provided. The method and apparatus to process interest messages and data messages based on priorities in a CCN provides different Quality of Service (QoS) based on type of contents by extracting a traffic type of each of the contents.

Abstract: Provided are apparatuses and methods of generating and verifying signature information for data authentication. A method of verifying signature information may involves receiving signature information with respect to a predetermined number of data segments from a transmitter, constructing a hash tree based on the signature information, and verifying a validity of the signature information, by verifying trapdoor hash values using a root hash value of the constructed hash tree.

Abstract: A node includes a content table configured to store a segment of a content in a memory, a controller configured to select a search algorithm, from among plural search algorithms, to search for a content requested by a packet received from another node, based on a determined characteristic of the packet received from the other node, and a searcher configured to search contents stored in the content table for at least one portion of a content name of the content for the packet using the selected search algorithm.

Abstract: Provided are a content source node and a first content router and a second content router in a content centric network (CCN), and a communication method thereof. The technology described herein may reduce the updating of routing information due to a movement of a mobile source node and the corresponding overhead, thereby reducing a rate of using an overall network resource by adding routing information, that is, partially updating the routing information of the corresponding mobile source node for content routers on a route through which the mobile source node moves.
