Content-Centric Networking Skeleton - Implementation
=============================================================================

PARC's concept of Content-Centric Networking(CCN) is a promising idea. Still 
there are many challenges to face in this research area and PARC has done a
great job in this field with providing CCNx. However, we think that the research
community needs a more flexible and easily extensible implementation of the CCN
protocol. Therefore, we provide the Content-Centric Networking Skeleton(CCNs),
which is an object oriented implementation of CCN. This implementation should 
enable the research community to easily integrate new ideas into the current 
framework and evaluate them.
