A Flexible Forwarding System for Experiments in Information-Centric Networking

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has drawn considerable attention as a new network architecture recently. However, the lack of experimental environments brings about the inconvenience of evolving ICN. As forwarding devices need to be updated once the protocols evolve, researchers spend a large a...
