Abstract

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a promising candidate for the future Internet architecture. Its pivot is to change the host-centric model of the current Internet to a content-centric model. Under the new model, anyone can cache contents and serve them to anyone else. Thus, user latency, redundant traffic and server load are all reduced. Although CCN is widely acknowledged in the research community, practical implementation and deployment of the idea are still scarce. In this paper, we propose a practical instantiation of the CCN architecture. In contrast to the clean-slate approach, we leverage existing infrastructures to build a working system at minimum cost. We believe that our scheme reaps most of the benefits of CCN without an overhaul of the Internet and can serve as an initial step toward the deployment of a whole new CCN-based Internet architecture.
