Swift: The missing link between peer-to-peer and information-centric networks. ABSTRACT A common pitfall of many proposals on new informationcentric architectures for the Internet is the imbalance of upfront costs and immediate benefits. If properly designed and deployed, information-centric architectures can accommodate the current Internet usage which is at odds with the historical design of the Internet infrastructure. To address this concern, we focus on prospects of incremental adoption of

Our design integrates components while highly prioritizing modularity and sketches a path for piecemeal adoption which we consider a critical enabler of any progress in the field.
