File-Like ICN Collections - the NDN/ICN community's manifest format for representing large objects as content-addressed collections of segments, so big data travels as a signed tree of named pieces.
The shelf: FLIC ships big objects as signed named pieces - the manifest instinct the bundle repeats.
Etymology and backstory
an IRTF ICNRG draft tradition: once data is named and signed per-packet, large files need a manifest that names all their segments and carries authentication for the set - a Merkle-manifest pattern tuned for ICN's naming. FLIC is that pattern's standardized form.
Ecosystem
NDN repositories and file transfer tools; conceptually parallel to IPFS's UnixFS DAGs and BitTorrent v2's per-file Merkle trees - every content-addressed world reinvents the manifest.
In codexproof
cited as the inherited pattern behind bundling - the envelope's bundle is codexproof's manifest moment: a self-contained, completeness- checkable set of named (cid-addressed) pieces. The lineage acknowledgment matters at ICNP specifically: the room that standardized FLIC will recognize the shape and should hear it credited.
