Method and apparatus for exchanging bidirectional streams over a content centric network
First Claim
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.

Abstract
A data-streaming system facilitates establishing a bidirectional data stream over a content centric network (CCN). During operation, the system determines a first routable name prefix associated with a service provider to which the network device desires to establish the bidirectional streaming session. The system also generates a client stream name to provide to the service provider. The client stream name includes a second routable prefix to a local network device, and includes a client stream identifier for a first data stream from the service provider. The system then disseminates an Interest message whose name includes the first routable name prefix and the client stream name. After receiving a Content Object that includes the remote device'"'"'s response, the system can then communicate with the service provider using a bidirectional stream over the CCN based on the client stream name and the provider stream name.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a 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. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
