CCN naming scheme for scalable routing and incremental deployment

In this paper, we propose a Content-Centric Networking (CCN) naming scheme which combines 16 bytes of Internet Protocol (IP) address with uniquely identified CCN name. The IP address is used to find destination of a packet, and CCN name is used to identify the content when the packet is forwarded. This approach enables for CCN protocol to use same Forwarding Information Base (FIB) of current internet, as a result it allows incremental deployment of CCN on current networking infrastructures.
