RFC 9510: Alternative Delta Time Encoding for Content-Centric Networking (CCNx) Using Compact Floating-Point Arithmetic
Recent RFCs 2024-02-23
Summary:
Content-Centric Networking (CCNx) utilizes delta time for a number of
functions. When using CCNx in environments with constrained nodes or
bandwidth constrained networks, it is valuable to have a compressed
representation of delta time. In order to do so, either accuracy or
dynamic range has to be sacrificed. Since the current uses of delta
time do not require both simultaneously, one can consider a
logarithmic encoding. This document updates RFC 8609 ("CCNx messages
in TLV Format") to specify this alternative encoding.
