A common pitfall of many proposals on new information-centric 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 this paradigm by introducing a peer-to-peer based transport protocol for content dissemination named Swift that exhibits properties required in an Information-Centric Network (ICN), yet can be deployed in the existing Internet infrastructure. 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.
