Patent Document ID: 10003507
Application ID: 15061974

Base Claim:
1. A computer system for facilitating an efficient transmission of content using a transport protocol, the system comprising: a processor; and a storage device storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising: receiving a first interest which indicates a query for optimal transport parameters, wherein a name for an interest is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level, wherein the query is based on a name prefix that includes one or more contiguous name components; computing the optimal transport parameters based on historical information associated with the name prefix; and transmitting a first response which includes computed optimal parameters to a requesting entity, thereby facilitating a transport protocol which increases network efficiency.

Claim 4:
4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first interest includes a notification flag which indicates a request for the computer system to send a notification to the requesting entity, wherein the notification indicates changes to the computed optimal parameters, and wherein the method further comprises: generating a second response that is an interest which indicates the notification of the changes to the computed optimal parameters.
