1. A computer-executable method, comprising:

  • identifying, by a computer node in an information-centric network (ICN), an identifier of a first anchor node associated with a name in an update message received from a neighbor node, wherein the first anchor node stores a content object identifiable based on the name, and wherein the name is independent of the first anchor node;

    determining whether the name is validly reachable via a neighboring node based on a comparison between a lexicographic order of the identifier of the neighboring node and the identifier of the node;

    responsive to determining that the name is validly reachable via the neighboring node;

    adding the neighboring node to a valid list for the name;

    determining, for the name, a next-hop neighbor list from the valid list;

    computing new routing information for one or more neighboring nodes in the next-hop neighbor list; and

    updating a routing table to include the new routing information for the one or more neighboring nodes for the name;

    determining whether the first anchor node is a designated anchor node based on the new routing information in the updated routing table and a routing metric for the first anchor node.
