NDN Technical Report NDN-0003, July 2012.
Named Data Networking (NDN) is a new data-centric network architecture. In NDN, users send Interest messages to retrieve data by their names. Since the Interest messages do not contain source or destination addresses, routers need to forward them based on the names carried in the messages. In order to provide name-based routing capability in NDN, we have extended OSPF to distribute name pre xes and calculate routes to name pre xes. Our protocol OSPFN is currently deployed in the NDN testbed. This report describes our design, implementation, deployment, and future work.
