"This document describes the CCNx protocol, the transport protocol for a communications architecture called Content-Centric Networking (CCN) built on named data. CCN has no notion of host at its lowest level — a packet "address" names content, not location. The CCNx protocol efficiently delivers named content rather than connecting hosts to other hosts. Every packet of data may be cached at any CCNx router — combined with intrinsic support for multicast or broadcast delivery this leads to a very efficient use of the network when many people are interested in the same content." from http://www.ccnx.org/releases/latest/doc/technical/CCNxProtocol.html http://www.ccnx.org/releases/latest/doc/technical/CCNxProtoc...
