RCCN: A Reconfigurable Content-Centric Networking

In this paper, we present RCCN, a novel centralized Reconfigurable Content-Centric Networking for congested networks. RCCN inherits the properties from Content-Centric Networking, such as hierarchical naming, node structure and security. RCCN is designed to create a manageable and controllable networking to satisfy the transmission requirements of different business and to suit to the dynamic network conditions. Furthermore, RCCN adopts a multiple hierarchical control model to extend into inter-domain routing, which resolves expansion problem in centralized networking. Finally, we have implemented the prototype system of RCCN and our experiments demonstrate that RCCN can effectively eliminate the negative effects of network congestion.
