1. An electronic device comprising:

  • interface circuitry configured to receive and transmit signals carrying packets; and

    processing circuitry configured to;

    detect a received packet that includes an Internet protocol (IP) header and an extension header to the IP header, the extension header carrying an information centric networking (ICN) identifier; and

    after the received packet is detected,extract the ICN identifier from the extension header, andwhen an interest packet for the ICN identifier is determined to be encapsulated in the received packet and when retrieval of a matched content object with a matching name to the ICN identifier fails, update the received packet to become an updated packet by replacing a source IP address field with an IP address of the electronic device, and forward the updated packet via the interface circuitry.
