Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for automatic configuration of a computing device in a content-centric network (CCN). During operation, the system sends, by the computing device on at least one of the computing device's faces, an interest in configuration information. The interest has a predetermined name prefix. The system then receives a content object in response to the interest. The content object includes at least a default name prefix, to which the computing device can send other interests. The system further configures the computing device based on the received content object.
