Abstract
A network forwarder can use a Manifest to allocate resources in a content centric network (CCN). Specifically, the forwarder can include a Manifest table which stores a Manifest state for a set of pending Manifests. Each Manifest can include a name associated with a data collection, and includes a list of references to Content Objects that make up the data collection. When the forwarder receives a Manifest for a data collection, the forwarder creates an entry for the Manifest in the Manifest table, and allocates one or more resources for processing the Manifest. When the forwarder receives an Interest, the forwarder performs a lookup in the Manifest table based on the Interest's name to determine whether the Interest is associated with a pending Manifest. If the Interest matches a Manifest state stored in the Manifest table, the forwarder processes the Interest and the Manifest based on the Manifest state.
