By solving a number of design issues such as HLS/NDN protocol translation, data translation, naming and security, PCLive is able to run over an NDN network and enjoy its architectural benefits. Since December 2021, PCLive has been running on an NDN testbed consisting of cloud servers from seven cities. It can serve almost four times as many clients as an existing livestreaming system can over IP under the same network conditions; at the same time, the average throughput of the bottleneck link in the NDN testbed is 34.8% lower than that in IP. We also evaluate congestion control and adaptive forwarding with PCLive.},

abstract = {Applications such as machine learning training systems or log collection generate and consume large amounts of data. Object storage systems provide a simple abstraction to store and access such large datasets. These datasets are typically larger than the capacities of individual storage servers, and require fault tolerance through replication. In this paper, we present Kua, a distributed object storage system built over Named Data Networking (NDN). The data-centric nature of NDN helps Kua maintain a simple design while catering to requirements of storing large objects, providing fault tolerance, low latency and strong consistency guarantees, along with data-centric security.

Applications such as machine learning training systems or log collection generate and consume large amounts of data. Object storage systems provide a simple abstraction to store and access such large datasets. These datasets are typically larger than the capacities of individual storage servers, and require fault tolerance through replication. In this paper, we present Kua, a distributed object storage system built over Named Data Networking (NDN). The data-centric nature of NDN helps Kua maintain a simple design while catering to requirements of storing large objects, providing fault tolerance, low latency and strong consistency guarantees, along with data-centric security. Our prototype Kua implementation provides easy-to-use primitives to let applications store and access data securely, and our initial evaluation suggests that Kua can leverage NDN's capabilities of multicast data delivery and in-network caching to achieve higher efficiency than existing object storage systems.

Publishing datasets to centralized repositories can be process-intensive, and those repositories do not accept all datasets. The ad-hoc repositories are difficult to find and utilize due to differences in data names, metadata standards, and access methods. To address the problem of scientific data publication and storage, we have designed Hydra, a secure, distributed, and decentralized data repository made of a loose federation of storage servers (nodes) provided by user communities.

Hydra utilizes "Favor", a locally calculated numerical value to decide which nodes will replicate a file. Finally, Hydra utilizes data-centric security for data publication and node authentication. Hydra uses a Network Operation Center (NOC) to bootstrap trust in Hydra nodes and data publishers. The NOC distributes user and node certificates and performs the proof-of-possession challenges.
