Content Distribution Applications (e.g., P2P applications) are widely
used on the Internet and make up a large portion of the traffic in
many networks. One technique to improve the network efficiency of
these applications is to introduce storage capabilities within the
networks; this is the capability provided by a DECADE (DECoupled
Application Data Enroute) compatible system. This document presents
an architecture, discusses the underlying principles, and identifies
key functionalities in the architecture for introducing a DECADE in-
network storage system. In addition, some examples are given to
illustrate these concepts.
