What is Named Data Networking Project?
A new networking paradigm that shifts the focus from where to what, enabling content-centric communication. Named Data Networking (NDN) transforms data into a first-class entity, allowing users and applications to operate in terms of content rather than locations. By naming data instead of their locations, NDN decouples trust in data from trust in hosts, enabling several scalable communication mechanisms. The project aims to address the technical challenges of routing scalability, fast forwarding, trust models, network security, content protection, and privacy, through end-to-end testbed deployments, simulation, and theoretical analysis. NDN is a transformative architectural shift from the current host-based, point-to-point communication model of the Internet, positioning it as a candidate for the future Internet
