Time-based interest protocol for real-time content streaming in content-centric networking (CCN)

Internet increasingly suffers congestion on the server side, particularly due to ever-increasing demand for high-quality audio/video streaming. CCN is considered as an important networking paradigm which can efficiently address such traffic explosion issue. Although early implementation of CCN protocol is available through CCNx open source project, current version lacks efficient support for real-time streaming applications. In this paper, we propose an enhanced mechanism for the support of real-time content streaming service in CCN, and present experimental results demonstrating its effectiveness.
