Van Jacobson speaks on Content Centric Networking (2009)

The Named Data Networking (NDN) project makes use of the CCN (Content-Centric Networking) architecture developed at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). In this presentation, Van Jacobson speaks on content-centric networking at the Future Internet Summer School (FISS 09) in Bremen, Germany in June 2009. NDN PI Van Jacobson discusses the philosophy behind content-centric and named data networking at the Future Internet Summer School (FISS 2009) in Bremen, Germany.
