The goal of this project is to support the evaluation, experimentation, and further development of the Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture through building the core NDN infrastructure as a community resource, serving to advance research in the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm.Named Data Networking (NDN) is a new Internet architecture that replaces today's architectural focus on "where'', i.e., the addresses and hosts of Internet Protocol (IP), with "what'', i.e., the content that users and applications care about. This fundamental shift brings profound impacts on enhancing Internet security, enabling mobility support, scaling content distribution, and facilitating new application development. NDN has attracted researchers from around the world, both in academia and industry, to explore all aspects of its design, implementation, and applications. It is a very prominent realization of the vision for Information-Centric Networking (ICN), around which a growing research community has formed over the past several years. A full exploration and examination of future Internet architecture designs like NDN, and ICN more broadly, require working prototypes, evaluation tools, and experimentation platforms, which are the core infrastructure that this project aims to develop. More specifically, building upon the existing NDN research, this project will develop for the research community more robust, extensible, and well-documented implementations of the (i) NDN software forwarder providing core network functionality, (ii) libraries of essential features to support application development, (iii) a routing protocol to connect NDN nodes, (iv) NDN simulator and emulator packages, lab testbed, and global testbed for realistic evaluations and experimentation, and (v) demonstration kits, tools, documentations, and tutorials.Broader Impacts: As the first comprehensive infrastructure to support NDN and ICN research, it will make significant impacts in several ways. First, by making NDN systems available on multiple platforms and accessible to all interested researchers and students, this infrastructure will enable new research opportunities and help grow the research community. Second, through venues such as academic conferences, community meetings, and the open-source development approach, the research community will be involved in both the development and the use of the infrastructure, contributing to and benefiting from the success of the project. Finally, the development and the use of the infrastructure provide a great education opportunity to train graduate and undergraduate students in thinking forward while experimenting with a running system.

该项目的目的是支持通过构建核心NDN基础架构作为社区资源来评估，实验和进一步开发统计数据网络（NDN）体系结构，以推动在信息中心网络（ICN）Paradigm.mm.Mamed数据网络（NDN）中提高研究的研究，这是一个新的Internet互联网架构，替代了当今的架构，该协议替代了“在此处”的建筑。用“什么”，即用户和应用程序关心的内容。这种基本的转变对增强互联网安全性，实现移动性支持，扩展内容分布以及促进新的应用程序开发产生了深远的影响。 NDN吸引了来自世界各地的研究人员，无论是学术界还是行业，都探索了其设计，实施和应用的各个方面。 这是对以信息为中心网络（ICN）的愿景的非常明显的认识，在过去的几年中，越来越多的研究界形成了这一愿景。 对未来的互联网架构设计等未来的互联网架构设计以及ICN的全面探索和检查，需要工作原型，评估工具和实验平台，这些平台是该项目旨在开发的核心基础架构。 More specifically, building upon the existing NDN research, this project will develop for the research community more robust, extensible, and well-documented implementations of the (i) NDN software forwarder providing core network functionality, (ii) libraries of essential features to support application development, (iii) a routing protocol to connect NDN nodes, (iv) NDN simulator and emulator packages, lab testbed, and global testbed for realistic evaluations and实验以及（v）演示套件，工具，文档和教程。Broader的影响：作为支持NDN和ICN研究的第一个全面的基础架构，它将以多种方式产生重大影响。首先，通过使NDN系统在多个平台上可用，并且所有感兴趣的研究人员和学生都可以访问，该基础设施将带来新的研究机会并帮助发展研究界。其次，通过学术会议，社区会议和开源开发方法等场所，研究界将参与基础设施的发展和使用，从而为项目的成功做出了贡献和受益。最后，基础设施的发展和使用为培训毕业生和本科生的教育机会提供了一个很好的教育机会，可以在尝试运行系统的同时进行思考。
