    摘要: A method is described for quiescing and updating a transport stack. The method is implemented at a content centric network node including a transport stack having a plurality of components and a head of the stack. The method includes sending a pause message down the transport stack from the head of the stack while the plurality of components are processing interests and/or content objects, wherein the pause message sets one or more component of the plurality of components to a quiesced state to preclude one or more components of the plurality of components from processing the interests and/or the content objects. A pause acknowledgement message is received at the head of the stack and it is determining that the stack has been quiesced. After sending the pause message and receiving the pause acknowledgement message, an update message is sent down the transport stack from the head of the stack, wherein the update message provides an update for a component of the transport stack while the one or more components are precluded from processing the interests and/or the content objects. An update acknowledgement message is received at the head of the stack for the update message and it is determined that the update has been successful. After sending the update message, a resume message is sent down the transport stack from the head of the stack, wherein the resume message causes the one or more components to resume processing the interests and/or the content objects in accordance with the update.
