Novel Cooperative and Fully-Distributed Congestion Control Mechanism for Content Centric Networking

The router's buffer accommodates transient packets to guarantee that the network's links do not become idle. However, buffer overflow causes packet loss, which is a signal of congestion. In content centric networking (CCN), the interest packet, which is used for requesting content, may be dropped due to such congestion. Each interest packet is assigned a specific lifetime, and when the lifetime expires without obtaining the requested content,...
