Abstract:
In one embodiment, an intermediate node in a communication network receives a client interest with an indication of a client-requested reverse private path. The reverse private path is a label switched path toward a corresponding client with encrypted client information. In response to receiving the client interest, the intermediate node allocates a label for the reverse private path. The allocated label is mapped to a node from which the client interest is received. The intermediate node then forwards the client interest with the allocated label toward a server. In another embodiment, the server receives a client interest including a client-requested reverse private path from a particular intermediate node and determines a server interest. The allocated label for the client interest is inserted into the server interest which is forwarded toward the client via the particular intermediate node using the allocated label for the reverse private path.
Abstract:
The embodiments described herein present methods and apparatuses for on-path CAC operations in a MPLS-VPN environment. In an example embodiment, an ingress PE device receives a quality of service (QoS) resource reservation request; constructs an outgoing message that includes information allowing an egress PE device to identify the virtual private network routing and forwarding table (VRF) associated with a resource reservation resulting from the QoS resource reservation request; and transmits the outgoing message to the egress PE device, where the information allowing VRF identification is echoed back by the egress PE device and used by the ingress PE device to identify the VRF associated with the resource reservation resulting from the QoS resource reservation request. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract:
An example method for congestion control using congestion prefix information in a Named Data Networking (NDN) environment is provided and includes sensing, at a first node, congestion preventing an interest packet from being forwarded over a link to a second node, generating a prefix marker associated with a class of traffic to which the interest packet belongs, generating a negative acknowledgement (NACK) packet that includes the prefix marker, the NACK packet being indicative of congestion for any interest packet in the class of traffic indicated by the prefix marker over any path that includes the link, and transmitting the NACK packet over the NDN environment towards a sender of the interest packet.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes measuring at a cache node located on a data path between a content source and an adaptive streaming client, a time to retrieve content from the content source, and rate limiting streaming of the content from the cache node to the adaptive streaming client based on the measured time to retrieve the content. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
