Abstract

Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for routing interests and/or content in an information centric network. A router can include a memory and routing circuitry coupled to the memory, the routing circuitry configured to receive a packet, receive one or more attributes including at least one of (1) a network attribute, (2) a platform attribute, and (3) a content attribute, determine which neighbor node is to receive the packet next based on the received one or more attributes, and forward the packet to the determined neighbor node.
