OPLIN 4cast #402: Internet by name, not by number
September 10th, 2014

headstoneIt's not everyday you look at the news and see that a group of 
the largest universities and Internet companies have decided it's time 
to completely change the architecture of the Internet. But that's what 
happened last week, as the formation of the Named Data Networking 
Consortium was announced. TCP/IP - short for Transmission Control 
Protocol and Internet Protocol - was developed about 45 years ago to 
handle network communication between two computing devices identified by 
their IP addresses, and since then it has defined the way the Internet 
works. But a lot of Internet traffic these days looks more like 
broadcasting of content than one-to-one communication, and a growing 
number of network innovators feel that TCP/IP is about to reach its limits.

  * Forget IP, Cisco thinks the answer to the data tsunami may be Named
    Data Networking

    (TelecomTV | Guy Daniels) "TCP/IP was created for a point-to-point,
    voice-centric world - a communications network. The fact that it has
    lasted so long and still supports the data-centric distribution
    networks of today is testimony to its creators' skills. But with the
    IoT [Internet of Things] threatening to increase data traffic and
    apps by several orders of magnitude, ecommerce and digital media
    growing, the Internet has become a 'distribution network'.
    Therefore, a rethink is required."
  * NDN project overview <http://named-data.net/project/> "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. The Named Data Networking (NDN) project
    aims to develop a new Internet architecture that can capitalize on
    strengths - and address weaknesses - of the Internet's current
    host-based, point-to-point communication architecture in order to
    naturally accommodate emerging patterns of communication."
  * UCLA, Cisco & more join forces to replace TCP/IP
    <http://www.networkworld.com/article/2602109/lan-wan/ucla-cisco-more-join-forces-to-replace-tcpip.html>
    (Network World | Bob Brown) "Since that time [2010], participating
    organizations have somewhat quietly been working on new protocols
    and specifications, including a new packet format, that have been
    put through their paces in a testbed that spans from the United
    States to Asia. Their aim is to put forth an Internet architecture
    that's more secure, able to support more bandwidth and friendlier to
    app developers. Cryptographic authentication, flow balance and
    adaptive routing/forwarding are among the key underlying principles."
  * DEATH TO TCP/IP cry Cisco, Intel, US gov and boffins galore
    <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/05/named_data_networking_consortium_launches_to_replace_tcp_ip/>
    (The Register | Simon Sharwood) "Intel, Huawei, Alcatel-Lucent,
    Qualcomm, Comcast and Orange are also contributing to the effort to
    create the new protocols. Work on the Named Data Networking (NDN)
    has been going on for some time: the National Science Foundation has
    been pumping in cash since 2010. The significance of this launch is
    that industry is now involved, and the consortium is committed to
    producing open-source software to take researchers' work beyond the
    hypothetical."
