摘要：The information-centric network has been proposed for years. It received much attention in the research community until that the content-centric networking (CCN) became one of the fundamental components of Future Internet Architecture (FIA). Meanwhile, current CCN faces enormous technical challenges and one of the key issues is to properly design and evaluate the adaptive forwarding strategies. This paper aims to propose a high efficient routing protocol (ELRP) for the name resolving in CCN. The ELRP incorporates the merits of hierarchical structure, channel and rendezvous network. The demands of path latency are loosen in the proposed routing design, and other metrics, e.g. communication cost, load balancing and resource consumption, are also taken into the consideration. A collection of simulation experiments are carried out and the results show that ELRP can provide improved network performances in terms of these evaluation metrics. Such research outcome implies that a more comprehensive service can be deployed with improved network performance.
