Abstract

A component framework for content-centric networking is presented. The framework also enables multimedia contents to be implemented as compound documents. It also enables documents or multimedia to define their own itineraries among nodes and to transmit other content as first-class objects to their destinations. The dynamic deployment of network protocols to exchange content can be achieved by means of GUI-based manipulation of compound documents, because the protocols can be treated as documents or multimedia contents. Therefore, the approach allows the developer to easily and rapidly configure network processing in the same way as if he/she had edited the documents. This paper describes a prototype implementation of this infrastructure and several of its applications.
