A number of different architectures have been proposed in support of
data-oriented or information-centric networking. Besides a similar
visions, they share the need for designing a new networking
architecture. We present an incrementally deployable approach to
content-centric networking based upon TCP. Content-aware senders
cooperate with probabilistically operating routers for scalable content
delivery (to unmodified clients), effectively supporting opportunistic
caching for time-shifted access as well as de-facto synchronous
multicast delivery. Our approach is application protocol-independent
and provides support beyond HTTP caching or managed CDNs. We present
our protocol design along with a Linux-based implementation and some
initial feasibility checks.
