Abstract
An internet protocol (IP) content router, comprising a forwarding information base (FIB) engine comprising a data store comprising forwarding instructions, an IP packet classifier comprising a processor configured to classify a first incoming IP packet as an information centric networking (ICN) packet and a second incoming IP packet as a non-ICN packet, and an IP packet processor comprising a processor, wherein the IP packet processor is coupled to the FIB engine and to the IP packet classifier, wherein the IP packet processor is configured to intercept the ICN packet for further ICN processing in the IP content router, consult the FIB engine for forwarding instructions for the non-ICN packet, and forward the non-ICN packet according to the forwarding instructions.
