Abstract

Path steering is a mechanism to discover paths to the producers ofInformation-Centric Networking (ICN) Content Objects and steersubsequent Interest messages along a previously discovered path. Ithas various uses, including the operation of state-of-the-artmulti-path congestion control algorithms and for network measurementand management. This specification derives directly from the designpublished in "Path Switching in Content Centric and Named DataNetworks" (4th ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking) and,therefore, does not recapitulate the design motivations,implementation details, or evaluation of the scheme. However, sometechnical details are different, and where there are differences, thedesign documented here is to be considered definitive.
