Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for establishing a bidirectional stream over a content centric network (CCN), the method comprising: determining, by a local network device, a first routable name prefix associated with a service provider; generating a client stream name to provide to the service provider, wherein the client stream name includes a second routable prefix to the local network device, and includes a client stream identifier for a first data stream from the service provider; disseminating an Interest message that includes the first routable name prefix, and includes the client stream name appended to the first routable name prefix; receiving a Content Object that satisfies the Interest message, wherein the Content Object's content includes a provider stream name for a remote network device associated with the service provider, and wherein the provider stream name includes a second routable prefix to the remote network device and includes a provider stream identifier for a second data stream from the local network device to the service provider; and communicating with the service provider using a bidirectional stream over the CCN based on the client stream name and the provider stream name.
