The invention relates to the technical field of ICN (Information Centralized Network) communication, and particularly discloses a shortest path transmission method for a CCN (Content Centralized Network), which comprises the following steps: 1, a PITS routing mechanism: when a destination end
router detects a direct connection content request, analyzing request end information, triggering reverse optimal path calculation, generating a PITS routing (destination end-request end) carrying a request end identifier, and sending the PITS routing to the request end; and the traditional PIT reverse path is replaced to forward data. And 2, FIBS
route solidification: converting the PITS
route into a high-priority FIBS
route to cover the original FIB route, so that subsequent requests with the same content are directly forwarded based on the optimal backhaul path, and repeated switching is avoided. And 3, a route synchronization mechanism: after the PITS route is deleted, the residual PIT route is synchronously cleaned by
pruning the message. According to the invention, the
transmission delay of large data volume reply is reduced, the
network congestion is reduced, and the CCN forwarding efficiency is improved by more than 20%.
