Claim Text:
1. A computer-executable method for assembling a reconstructable content stream and delivering the reconstructable content stream over a content centric network (CCN), comprising: generating, by a computer, a content manifest for a content collection comprising a plurality of content components, wherein a respective entry in the content manifest corresponds to a content component; generating a stream-construction manifest by attaching a set of stream-construction rules to the content manifest; constructing a first set of stream content objects based on the set of stream-construction rules, wherein a respective stream content object from the first set of stream content objects includes a chunk of the stream-construction manifest; constructing a second set of stream content objects for the content collection based on the set of stream-construction rules, wherein a respective stream content object from the second set of stream content objects includes a chunk of a content component, and wherein the first set of stream content objects and the second set of stream content objects have a same name prefix; assembling the reconstructable content stream by appending the second set of stream content objects to the first set of stream content objects, thereby enabling an intermediate node in the network to extract and store chunks of one or more content components and to reconstruct, at a later time, stream content objects for the one or more content components based on the stream-construction manifest and the stored chunks.
