COL4: Content-Oriented Transportation Protocol

Content-Oriented Transport Protocol (COL4) is designed to support most features of content-oriented network architectures over current Internet infrastructures. The protocol is designed to provide a "narrow-waist", namely, fundamental common transport mechanism for various kinds of content-oriented network architectures.

CONIC: Content-Oriented Network with Indexed Caching

Content-Oriented Network with Indexed Caching (CONIC) is a deployable and self-scaling architecture to exploit spare storage and bandwidth from end-systems to eliminate redundant trafic and to enable efficient and fast access of content.
     In contrast to existing approaches, CONIC is designed to be incrementally implemented and deployed, for example, from the edge of the Internet.
     In CONIC, content itself is cached on individual clients, while functionalities of redirection and corresponding indexing are integrated into routers. In a nutshell, while a CONIC client issues the request for content to the origin server as they usually do, the request is redirected to the nearest client that holds the cache of the content if it exists, according to the index of CONIC routers.
     This design eliminates the cost for storage space and the drawback of a single point of failure, and makes use of peer-to-peer's self-scaling architecture.
