Funny, but the DCS project that we did in 1970s under NSF funding used a "content-centric" Local network and it yielded many important advantages.  Unfortunately the techniques used were eliminated by those who picked up parts of the effort  since they saw no need for it :-) -- Farber, D.J., J. Feldman, F.R. Heinrich, M.D. Hopwood, K.C. Larson, D.C. Loomis, and L.A. Rowe. "The Distributed Computing System." Proc. Seventh Annual IEEE Computer
Society International Conference, (Feb. 1973), pp. 31-34.

"Next month, a little more than a year after the National Science Foundation (NSF) launched the Future Internet Architecture (FIA) program, 100 researchers will gather in Palo Alto, CA, to discuss the progress in “content-centric networking” (CCN) – a new direction for organizing Internet traffic that aims to provide greater security and faster connectivity.

Content-centric networking represents a shift from today’s focus on using network addresses to find content. Instead it proposes a protocol that specifically defines and tracks content. Backers say it represents an evolutionary change similar to IP forwarding

.

 

“We think it’s definitely a concept that will change how people design high performance hardware,” said Jim Thornton, a principal engineer who leads a dozen researchers at PARC working in the area.


The goal of the meeting will be to have the research community share work, exchange ideas, and begin to shape the kind of content ID and router frameworks needed to make the CCN concept work.

“We are trying to define and validate what you could think of as an Internet Protocol for content,” said Thornton. “It’s this kind of work with people experimenting with apps and use cases that will push toward the design of a core protocol,” he said."
