Abstract:
A network node apparatus for Information-Centric Networking (ICN) and an operating method thereof. The network node apparatus has a control plane and a data plane, which are separate from each other, and manages location information of content on the data plane concentratedly. For example, the network node apparatus includes a Content Service Coordination Function (CSCF) configured to process a content request from a user or a publication request from a content provider; a Content Delivery Control Function (CDCF) configured to select an optimal service node to handle the content request or the publication request; and a Content Delivery Service Function (CDSF) configured to download requested content to the user or to download from the content provider content requested to be published and then register the downloaded content.
Abstract:
Provided is a packet processing device for an information-centric network. The packet processing device includes a packet transceiver configured to transmit and receive packets, and a packet processing unit configured to process a transmitted or received packet including a forwarding identifier that identifies information present in the ICN and corresponds to an IP address of a network node holding the information, and at least one sub-identifier that identifies child information of the information, in which the forwarding identifier is used to forward packets.
