Abstract
One embodiment provides a forwarding device, comprising a plurality of components, including one or more line cards and a supervisor card. An ingress line card receives a content object with a name. In response to determining a distributed storage technique, a selected line card stores the content object in a location which is a cache of the selected line card. The selected line card creates a first entry in a table of the selected line card, wherein the first entry indicates the content object name and the location in which the content object is stored. The selected line card transmits a first notification message to other components, wherein the first notification message indicates the content object name and the location indicated in the first entry. A respective other component creates a second entry in a table for the respective other component, wherein the second entry matches the first entry.
