Coupled multipath congestion control at receiver in content-centric networking

Content-Centric Networking (CCN), a recent innovative architecture, has brought about a great number of challenges for researchers whose ambition is to design such network with highly advanced ability to respond quickly to increasing demands from users. This receiver-driven content paradigm creates a different perspective of network. In this paper, we propose a coupled multipath congestion control at receiver in CCN which helps to enhance its capability of balancing congestion and network efficiency while remaining fair share among single-path user. The simulation results have shown that it can ameliorate the existing multipath algorithm for CCN.
