Wood and Marc Mosko and David R. Oran}, title = {{File-Like ICN Collections (FLIC)}}, pagetotal = 68, year = 2025, month = mar, day = 3, abstract = {This document describes how to encode an application data objet into a structured \_manifest\_ using Information Centric Networking (ICN) data objects, creating a File-Like ICN Collection (FLIC). The manifest is an "index table" of objects that make up the manifest itself and the application data. It records the hash value (content object hash) of each item so a consumer using the manifest may request each piece by a complete hash name. The manifest is hierarchical and may be encoded into realtively small ICN objects to fit within network MTU sizes. FLIC has several methods to guide a consumer in constructing appropriate Interest names based on the manifest. It also supports encryption of the manifest data. FLIC may be used in CCNx or Named Data Networking, or other ICNs.}, }
