Abstract
Name-based protocols give an opportunity to revisit aspects of content delivery including Quality of Service (QoS). Prior named-based approaches require additional signalling, distinct from forwarding, adding complexity. We propose a new name-based QoS mechanism, leveraging the simplicity of the name-prefix forwarding model. We demonstrate: (i) the effectiveness of our QoS prioritisation via a proof-of-concept implementation, (ii) scalability through analytical evaluation, and (iii) simplicity and clarity of the trust model through an analytical model.
