CCNxServ: Dynamic Service Scalability in Information-Centric Networks

Content-centric networks promise to address content networking issues in a better way than today's host-based networking architecture. But content-centric networking does not inherently address the issue of services, particularly service scalability and mobility. We present our work on CCNxServ, a system that allows for dynamic service deployment and scalability in a pure content-centric networking implementation (CCNx) through an intuitive use of the content naming scheme.
