This is a position paper. It documents the author's personal views on
how Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities ought to be accommodated in
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) protocols like Content-Centric
Networking (CCNx) or Named Data Networking (NDN), which employ
flow-balanced Interest/Data exchanges and hop-by-hop forwarding state
as their fundamental machinery. It argues that such protocols demand
a substantially different approach to QoS from that taken in TCP/IP
and proposes specific design patterns to achieve both classification
and differentiated QoS treatment on both a flow and aggregate basis.
It also considers the effect of caches in addition to memory, CPU,
and link bandwidth as resources that should be subject to explicitly
unfair resource allocation. The proposed methods are intended to
operate purely at the network layer, providing the primitives needed
to achieve transport- and higher-layer QoS objectives. It explicitly
excludes any discussion of Quality of Experience (QoE), which can
only be assessed and controlled at the application layer or above.
