Abstract

Named Data Networking is one of the leading candidates for a successful approach to Information Centric Networking. In this talk I give an overview of the key architectural and protocol features of NDN and the various tradeoffs that are embodied in the design. To illustrate some of the interesting research problems I give a summary of the areas of work and the results we have obtained in our work at Cisco over the last couple of years or working on NDN.
