Named Data Networking (NDN) is a Future Internet Architecture inspired by years of empirical research into network usage and a growing awareness of unsolved problems in IP. Its premise is that the Internet is primarily used as an information distribution network, which is not a good match for IP, and that the future Internet's "thin waist" should be based on named data rather than numerically addressed hosts. This proposal continues research started in 2010 under NSF's FIA program. It applies the principal investigators' (PIs) increasing understanding of NDN opportunities and challenges to two national priorities--Health IT and Cyber-physical Systems--to further evolve the architecture in the experimental manner that has proven successful. The research agenda is organized to translate key results in architecture and security into library code that guides application development towards native NDN designs. It simultaneously continues fundamental research into the challenges of global scalability and opportunities for innovation created by "simply" routing and forwarding data based on names.The NDN research agenda includes: 1) Applications--exploring naming and application design patterns; rendezvous, discovery and bootstrapping; the design of in-network storage; and use of new synchronization primitives; 2) Security & trustworthiness--providing basic building blocks of key management, trust management, and encryption-based access control, and anticipating future security challenges; 3) Routing and forwarding strategy--developing and evaluating path-vector, link-state, and hyperbolic options for inter-domain routing, addressing routing security and trust, and designing fast forwarding and mobility support; 4) Scalable forwarding--aiming to support real-world deployment, evaluation and adoption via an operational, scalable forwarding platform; 5) Libraries & tools--developing reference implementations based on the team's fundamental results; 6) Social & economic impacts--considering specific questions of the target environments and broader ones arising in a "World on NDN." The PIs choose Mobile Health and Enterprise Building Automation & Management Systems as specific environments to validate the architecture and drive new research. Domain experts will be 1) Open mHealth, a non-profit patient-centric ecosystem led by Deborah Estrin (Cornell) and Ida Sim (UCSF); and 2) UCLA Facilities Management, operators of the second largest Siemens building monitoring system on the West Coast. To guide research on the security dimensions of these environments and NDN more generally, the NDN team has convened a Security Advisory Council to complement its own effort.Intellectual Merit: NDN builds on lessons learned from the success of IP, preserving the thin waist, hierarchical naming, and end-to-end principles. The design recognizes the major shift in the applications communication model, from the "where" (i.e., the host/location) to the "what" (i.e., the content). Architecting a communications infrastructure around this shift can radically simplify application designs, enabling them to communicate directly using content names they desire and leaving it to the network to figure out how and from where to retrieve it. NDN also recognizes that the biggest weakness in the current Internet architecture is lack of security, and incorporates a fundamental building block to improve security by requiring that all content be signed.Broader Impacts: The success of new architectures requires community involvement and uptake. NDN has built momentum through a commitment to an open source model that has spurred substantial research activity in both architecture and current implementation. Project members are often invited to present at "future Internet" meetings around the world, and the PIs have performed high-visibility demos of NDN's ability to handle large scale distribution. Industry is also showing increasing participation. Finally, NDN has significantly impacted students, generating several Ph.D. theses, related industry internships, and both graduate and undergraduate classes that can now present a comprehensive alternative to IP to stimulate discussion of what network architecture design really means.

命名数据网络（NDN）是一种未来的互联网架构，灵感来自于多年来对网络使用的实证研究和对IP中未解决问题日益增长的认识。它的前提是，互联网主要被用作信息分发网络，这与IP并不匹配，未来互联网的“瘦腰”应该基于命名数据，而不是数字地址主机。这项提案延续了2010年在NSF FIA项目下开始的研究。它将主要研究人员（pi）对NDN机遇和挑战的日益加深的理解应用于两个国家优先事项——卫生It和网络物理系统——以实验方式进一步发展已被证明成功的架构。研究议程的组织目的是将架构和安全方面的关键成果转化为库代码，从而指导应用程序开发朝着本地NDN设计方向发展。同时，它继续对全球可扩展性的挑战进行基础研究，并通过“简单地”路由和转发基于名称的数据来创造创新机会。NDN研究议程包括：1)应用——探索命名和应用设计模式；集合、发现和引导；网内存储的设计；使用新的同步原语；2)安全与可信——提供密钥管理、信任管理和基于加密的访问控制的基本构建块，并预测未来的安全挑战；3)路由和转发策略——开发和评估域间路由的路径向量、链路状态和双曲线选项，解决路由安全和信任问题，设计快速转发和移动性支持；4)可扩展转发——旨在通过可操作的、可扩展的转发平台支持现实世界的部署、评估和采用；5)库和工具——基于团队的基本成果开发参考实现；6)社会和经济影响-考虑目标环境的具体问题和“NDN世界”中出现的更广泛的问题。pi选择移动医疗和企业楼宇自动化管理系统作为特定环境来验证架构并推动新的研究。领域专家将是：1)由Deborah Estrin（康奈尔大学）和Ida Sim（加州大学旧金山分校）领导的非营利、以患者为中心的生态系统Open mHealth；2)加州大学洛杉矶分校设施管理公司，西海岸第二大西门子建筑监控系统的运营商。为了更广泛地指导对这些环境和NDN安全维度的研究，NDN团队召集了一个安全咨询委员会，以补充其自身的努力。知识优势：NDN建立在IP成功经验的基础上，保留了细腰、分层命名和端到端原则。该设计认识到应用程序通信模型中的主要转变，从“在哪里”（即主机/位置）到“是什么”（即内容）。围绕这种转变构建通信基础设施可以从根本上简化应用程序设计，使它们能够直接使用他们想要的内容名称进行通信，并将其留给网络来确定如何以及从何处检索它。NDN还认识到当前Internet体系结构的最大弱点是缺乏安全性，并结合了一个基本构建块，通过要求对所有内容签名来提高安全性。更广泛的影响：新架构的成功需要社区的参与和吸收。通过对开源模型的承诺，NDN已经建立了动力，这在架构和当前实现方面都激发了大量的研究活动。项目成员经常被邀请出席世界各地的“未来互联网”会议，并且pi已经对NDN处理大规模分发的能力进行了高可见度的演示。工业界也显示出越来越多的参与。最后，NDN对学生产生了重大影响，产生了几篇博士论文，相关行业实习，以及研究生和本科生课程，现在可以提供IP的全面替代方案，以激发对网络架构设计真正意义的讨论。
