Title:

Developing a New Internet Architecture: Named Data Networking

Abstract:

The Internet has become an indispensable part in our modern society. In this talk I will share my observation from watching the Internet's growth over the last 36 years, then speculate its potential evolution toward a new protocol architecture, Named Data Networking. I will give a basic sketch of NDN, share our experience in NDN development over the last few years, and discuss research challenges in its realization.
