 CCNx Content Object Chunking
 
 draft-mosko-icnrg-ccnxchunking-03.txt
 Date: 20/10/2024
 Authors: Marc Mosko, Hitoshi Asaeda
 Working Group: Information-Centric Networking (icnrg)
This document specifies a chunking protocol for dividing a user payload into CCNx Content Objects. It defines a name segment type to identify each sequential chunk number and a Content Object field to identify the last available chunk number. This includes specification for the naming convention to use for the chunked payload and a field added to a Content Object to represent the last chunk of an object. This document updates RFC8569 and RFC8609.
 File-Like ICN Collections (FLIC)

This document describes a simple "index table" data structure and its associated Information Centric Networking (ICN) data objects for organizing a set of primitive ICN data objects into a large, File- Like ICN Collection (FLIC). At the core of this collection is a _manifest_ which acts as the collection's root node. The manifest contains an index table with pointers, each pointer being a hash value pointing to either a final data block or another index table node.
 Reflexive Forwarding for CCNx and NDN Protocols

Current Information-Centric Networking protocols such as CCNx and NDN have a wide range of useful applications in content retrieval and other scenarios that depend only on a robust two-way exchange in the form of a request and response (represented by an _Interest-Data exchange_ in the case of the two protocols noted above). A number of important applications however, require placing large amounts of data in the Interest message, and/or more than one two-way handshake. While these can be accomplished using independent Interest-Data exchanges by reversing the roles of consumer and producer, such approaches can be both clumsy for applications and problematic from a state management, congestion control, or security standpoint. This specification proposes a _Reflexive Forwarding_ extension to the CCNx and NDN protocol architectures that eliminates the problems inherent in using independent Interest-Data exchanges for such applications. It updates RFC8569 and RFC8609.
 ICN Challenges for Metaverse Platform Interoperability
 
 draft-hong-icn-metaverse-interoperability-00.txt

 Authors: Jungha Hong
 Working Group: Information-Centric Networking (icnrg)
This document explores the potential of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) to enhance interoperability between metaverse platforms. ICN's content-centric approach, in-network caching, and inherent security features can address key challenges such as scalability, low-latency performance, data ownership, and standardization needs. It also identifies these challenges and proposes solutions to optimize data sharing, enable efficient content distribution, and enforce secure access controls.
