CCNxServ: Dynamic service scalability in information-centric networks

Content-centric networks promise to address content networking issues in a better way than today´s host-based networking architecture. But content-centric networking does not inherently address the issue of services, particularly service scalability and mobility. We present our work on CCNxServ, a system that allows for dynamic service deployment and scalability in a content-centric networking implementation (CCNx) through an intuitive use of the content naming scheme. It thus extends the concept of content-centric networking towards services.
