Abstract
A data-streaming system facilitates establishing a bidirectional data stream over a content centric network (CCN). During operation, the system determines a first routable name prefix associated with a service provider to which the network device desires to establish the bidirectional streaming session. The system also generates a client stream name to provide to the service provider. The client stream name includes a second routable prefix to a local network device, and includes a client stream identifier for a first data stream from the service provider. The system then disseminates an Interest message whose name includes the first routable name prefix and the client stream name. After receiving a Content Object that includes the remote device's response, the system can then communicate with the service provider using a bidirectional stream over the CCN based on the client stream name and the provider stream name.
