Abstract
A network node, comprising a receiver configured to receive a request for a service, wherein the request comprises a hierarchically structured name comprising a root and a suffix, a data storage component comprising a network synchronized policy rule associated with a service name root, wherein the network synchronized policy rule is applied to any request for a service whose name comprises a root matching the service name root, and a processor coupled to the receiver and to the data storage component, wherein the processor is configured to apply the network synchronized policy rule to the request, wherein the processor is configured to synchronize service definitions and service policies with other nodes in a network based on the name of the service, and wherein the network synchronized policy rule is synchronized with the other nodes in the network using name-based routing.
