14. The method of claim 10 , wherein generating the first interest further involves: determining the priority or the weight assigned to the transport stack based on one or more of: the network properties; a characteristic of interests transmitted by the respective local application; and information indicated in the interests transmitted by the respective local application; assigning the priority or the weight to the transport stack; and indicating in the first interest a value for the window size, wherein the value is based on the priority or the weight.
