Claim Text:
1. A method for processing interest messages, the method comprising: receiving interest messages in a content-centric network (CCN) of computers, the interest messages comprising requests for contents; extracting, by a processor, a traffic type from each content that corresponds to an interest message, by using a classifier included in a content name of each content that corresponds to an interest message, and by using preset traffic types in the CCN, wherein the preset traffic types in the CCN comprise a time critical traffic and a best-effort traffic, and wherein a priority of time critical traffic is higher than a priority of best-effort traffic; determining priorities of the interest messages, based on the traffic type of each interest message; storing the interest messages in corresponding priority queues, based on the determined priorities; and processing, by the processor, interest messages in the priority queues, based on the priorities of the interest messages.
