Abstract

Lowest Cost Denominator Networking (LCDnet) envisions "breaking the mould of thinking that law of economics should govern connectivity to all". It brings together a multi-layer resource pooling of Internet technologies at several levels to support benevolence in the Internet. One of the proposed levels of resource pooling involves better network and storage utilisation, as promised by Information-centric networking architectures. In this paper we present a transport and resource management approach on top of an information-centric network that enables efficient, multi-source and multi-path information dissemination as well as in-network caching and mobility support, characteristics that are well desired in the LCDnet context.
