Abstract

We investigate an information-resilience scheme in the context of Content-Centric Networks (CCN) for the retrieval of content in disruptive, fragmented networks cases. To resolve and fetch content when the origin is not available due to fragmentation, we exploit content cached both in in-network caches and in end-users’ devices. Initially, we present the required modifications in the CCN architecture to support the proposed resilience scheme. We also present the family of policies that enable the retrieval of cached content and we derive an analytical expression/lower bound of the probability that an information item will disappear from the network (be absorbed) and the time to absorption when the origin of the item is not reachable. Extensive simulations indicate that the proposed resilience scheme is a valid tool for the retrieval of cached content in disruptive scenarios, since it allows the retrieval of content for a long period after the fragmentation of the network and the “disappearance” of the content origin.
