Explicit traffic shaping scheme in content centric networking

Abstract

Content centric networking (CCN) is considered as the prominent future internet architecture. CCN packets are routed based on content name itself, not on IP address and has two kinds of packets such as interest and data. CCN has a security model to secure content pieces, not to secure a transmission session. However, CCN has not widely taken the side effect to the occurrence of network congestion. So, this paper proposes the traffic control scheme in CCN environment to reduce high communication overhead, long content retrieval time, and high resource consumption. The proposed traffic shaping scheme for data packets tries to delay the transmission of data packets during network congestion.
