10. A computer-implemented method for facilitating scheduling of interests in a content centric network, the method comprising: determining, by a scheduler component, 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.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the scheduler component resides between the plurality of local applications and a portal instance associated with the transport stack, and wherein the scheduler component, the plurality of local applications, the component associated with the transport stack, and the transport stack reside on a same computing device.
