Flash-forward CCN

Content-centric Networking (CCN) promises significant advantages over the current Internet architecture by replacing its host-centric design with a content-centric one, and enabling in-network caching and name-based forwarding. However, despite its advantages, wire-speed forwarding in CCN remains a challenge, as CCN uses stateful forwarding and requires lookups on packets carrying hierarchically structured and variable-length content names. As a result, storage and computing requirements to support name-based forwarding in CCN determines the forwarding capacity.
