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.

命名的数据网络（NDN）是一种未来的互联网体系结构，受到多年对网络使用的实证研究的启发，并且对IP中未解决的问题的认识越来越多。它的前提是，互联网主要用作信息分布网络，这与IP不太匹配，并且未来的Internet的“细腰部”应基于命名的数据，而不是数字地处理的主机。该提案继续研究NSF的FIA计划始于2010年。它将主要研究人员（PIS）对NDN机遇和挑战的不断理解（PIS）应用于两个国家优先事项 - 拥有IT和网络物理系统 - 以证明成功的实验方式进一步发展建筑。研究议程旨在将建筑和安全性的关键结果转化为图书馆代码，以指导应用程序开发到本地NDN设计。它同时继续研究了基于名称的“简单”路由和转发数据创建的全球可扩展性和创新机会的挑战。NDN研究议程包括：1）应用程序 - 探索命名和应用程序设计模式；会合，发现和引导；网络内存储的设计；并使用新的同步基原始人； 2）安全与可信赖性 - 提供关键管理，信任管理和基于加密的访问控制的基本构件，并预测未来的安全挑战； 3）路由和转发策略 - 用于开发和评估路径向量，链接状态和双曲线方案，用于域间路由，解决路由安全性和信任以及设计快速转发和移动性支持； 4）可扩展的转发 - 通过操作，可扩展的转发平台支持现实世界的部署，评估和采用； 5）图书馆和工具 - 根据团队的基本结果开发参考实现； 6）社会和经济影响 - 考虑到目标环境的具体问题，以及在“ NDN世界上”中引起的更广泛的问题。 PIS选择移动健康和企业建筑自动化和管理系统作为特定环境，以验证建筑并推动新的研究。领域专家将为1）开放MHealth，这是由Deborah Estrin（Cornell）和IDA SIM（UCSF）领导的非营利性以患者为中心的生态系统； 2）UCLA设施管理，西海岸第二大西门子建筑监测系统的运营商。为了指导对这些环境和NDN的安全维度的研究，NDN团队召集了一个安全咨询委员会，以补充其自己的努力。IntlectualFure：NDN基于从IP的成功中学到的经验教训，可以保留薄腰部，等级制度，等级制度命名和终端原理。该设计认识到应用程序通信模型的主要变化，从“ where”（即主机/位置）到“ what”（即内容）。围绕此班次构建通信基础架构可以从根本上简化应用程序设计，从而使它们能够使用所需的内容名称直接进行通信，并将其留给网络，以弄清楚如何和从哪里检索。 NDN还认识到，当前互联网架构中最大的弱点是缺乏安全性，并通过要求签署所有内容来纳入一个基本的构建块，以提高安全性。Broader的影响：新建筑的成功需要社区参与和吸收。 NDN通过对开源模型的承诺建立了动力，该开源模型刺激了体系结构和当前实施中的大量研究活动。经常邀请项目成员参加世界各地的“未来互联网”会议，PIS对NDN处理大规模分配的能力进行了高可见性演示。行业也显示出越来越多的参与。最后，NDN对学生产生了重大影响，获得了多个博士学位。这些问题，相关行业实习以及研究生和本科课程现在可以提出IP的全面替代方案，以激发对网络架构设计真正含义的讨论。
