Content Registry - the distributed database of content localization for the PI CAN network

Content addressing and localization are basic issues in the structure of content-centric networks. This paper presents the implementation and performance evaluation of the Content Registry (CR), developed within the framework of the FIE (Future Internet Engineering) project to meet the requirements of the PI CAN network. The CR allows to find the desired Content Record (containing basic transmission parameters and localization of a content) in the network-distributed content database. The results confirm the CR is highly efficient in various configurations of the logical topology of connected nodes.
