Abstract
One embodiment provides a system that facilitates efficient communication based on a forwarding information base (FIB). The system receives, by an intermediate node, a first interest which includes a name and maximum interest information which indicates whether to forward a subsequent interest with a same name prefix as the first interest. In response to obtaining a first entry from a FIB based on the name for the first interest, the system adds to the first entry, for an outgoing interface corresponding to an arrival interface of the first interest, the maximum interest information included in the first interest as an interest limit for the first entry. In response to determining that the interest limit for the first entry is reached, the system refrains from forwarding the subsequent interest, thereby facilitating the intermediate node to manage traffic based on information in the forwarding information base provided by a content producer.
