While the Internet has far exceeded expectations, it has also stretched initial assumptions, often creating tussles that challenge its underlying communication model. Users and applications operate in terms of content, making it increasingly limiting and difficult to conform to IP's requirement to communicate by discovering and specifying location. To carry the Internet into the future, a conceptually simple yet transformational architectural shift is required, from today's focus on where ? addresses and hosts ? to what ? the content that users and applications care about.This project investigates a potential new Internet architecture called Named Data Networking (NDN). NDN capitalizes on strengths ? and addresses weaknesses ? of the Internet's current host-based, point-to-point communication architecture in order to naturally accommodate emerging patterns of communication. By naming data instead of their location, NDN transforms data into a first-class entity. The current Internet secures the data container. NDN secures the contents, a design choice that decouples trust in data from trust in hosts, enabling several radically scalable communication mechanisms such as automatic caching to optimize bandwidth. The project studies the technical challenges that must be addressed to validate NDN as a future Internet architecture: routing scalability, fast forwarding, trust models, network security, content protection and privacy, and fundamental communication theory. The project uses end-to-end testbed deployments, simulation, and theoretical analysis to evaluate the proposed architecture, and is developing specifications and prototype implementations of NDN protocols and applications.

虽然互联网远远超出了人们的预期，但它也超出了最初的假设，常常引发挑战其底层通信模式的冲突。用户和应用程序根据内容进行操作，这使得通过发现和指定位置来满足 IP 通信要求变得越来越受限和困难。为了将互联网带入未来，需要进行概念上简单但具有变革性的架构转变，从今天的重点转向哪里？地址和主机？到什么？用户和应用程序关心的内容。该项目研究了一种潜在的新互联网架构，称为命名数据网络（NDN）。 NDN 发挥优势 ?并解决弱点？互联网当前基于主机的点对点通信架构，以便自然地适应新兴的通信模式。通过命名数据而不是其位置，NDN 将数据转换为一流的实体。当前的互联网保护数据容器的安全。 NDN 保护内容，这是一种将数据信任与主机信任分离的设计选择，从而实现多种可根本扩展的通信机制，例如自动缓存以优化带宽。 该项目研究了验证 NDN 作为未来互联网架构必须解决的技术挑战：路由可扩展性、快速转发、信任模型、网络安全、内容保护和隐私以及基础通信理论。该项目使用端到端测试台部署、模拟和理论分析来评估所提出的架构，并正在开发 NDN 协议和应用程序的规范和原型实现。
