2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the network properties are further associated with content objects received by the local applications in response to the transmitted interests, and wherein the network properties are one or more of: a round trip time that begins when an interest is transmitted and ends when a corresponding content object is received; an estimate of the round trip time based on round trip times for transmitted interests and corresponding received content objects based on a predetermined amount of time; a total number of the transmitted interests; a number of the transmitted interests based on the predetermined amount of time; a changing rate of the transmitted interests and the corresponding received content objects based on the predetermined amount of time; a total number of interest return messages received, wherein an interest return message is received in response to an interest and is identified based on a code indicated in the message; a number of the interest return messages received based on the predetermined amount of time; a number of the transmitted interests for which a corresponding content object is not received based on the predetermined amount of time; a number of the transmitted interests that time out based on the predetermined amount of time; a number of the transmitted interests which are retransmitted based on the predetermined amount of time; and a number of retransmitted interests that time out based on the predetermined amount of time.
1. A computer system for facilitating scheduling of interests in a content centric network, the system comprising: a processor; and a storage device storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising: determining network properties associated with name prefixes of interests transmitted by a plurality of local applications, wherein a name for an interest is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level, and wherein a name prefix includes one or more contiguous name components; generating a first interest which indicates a command to set a window size for a transport stack associated with a respective local application based on the network properties; allocating a predetermined number of tokens to the transport stack based on a name prefix and a priority or a weight assigned to the transport stack; and transmitting the first interest to a component associated with the transport stack, which causes the component to set the window size for the transport stack, thereby facilitating scheduling of interests based on the network properties.
