NDN Project Monthly Newsletter for November 2014

November 7, 2014 by CAIDA in Newsletter, Updates | Comments Off on NDN Project Monthly Newsletter for November 2014

The Named Data Networking (NDN) project team compiles and publishes this newletter monthly to inform the community about recent project activities, meetings, publications, code releases, and upcoming events. You can find these newsletters on the Named Data Networking Project website at http://named-data.net/category/newsletter/

1. Our recent annual report covers Named Data Net activities in 2013-14. The report summarizes highlights from our research spanning applications, routing, scalable forwarding, security and fundamental theory. It includes updates on forwarding daemon development and testbed deployment, and covers outreach activities such as education initiatives, our first NDN Community Workshop, the first ACM ICN conference, the NDN Consortium, and more. Please see http://named-data.net/project/annual-progress-summaries/2013-2014/ for the report in its entirety.

Manifest embedding

October 1, 2014 by CAIDA in Updates | Comments Off on Manifest embedding

Manifests are proposed to be a special type of content in Named Data Networking that contains meta-information about other Data packets: a sequence of Data segments or completely independent information objects. While a great variety of useful meta-information exists, this document focuses on the case when manifest contains a list of Data packet names. For example, a manifest containing full names (prefix + digest of the packet) can be used by the consumer application for faster verification of data packets. Only the manifest object must be verified using the public key cryptography, whereas all other Data packets listed in the manifest can be verified by simple computation of the digest and comparison to the digest specified in already verified manifest. The purpose of this technical memo is to introduce the use of manifests for faster signing and verification of Data packets without requiring an additional round-trip delay for manifest fetching.

How to Deploy the NDN Forwarding Daemon on a Low-End Box

September 26, 2014 by CAIDA in Updates | Comments Off on How to Deploy the NDN Forwarding Daemon on a Low-End Box

Named Data Networking (NDN) is a potential future Internet architecture designed as a distribution network. To access the NDN network from a Linux or Apple OSX machine, one can install the NDN Platform, a collection of software packages including the protocol stack and critical applications. The NDN Forwarding Daemon (NFD), a core component of the architecture, serves as a software router and runs both on the network routers as well as on end hosts to communicate with routers.

The NDN team provides periodic releases of the new platform, and binary packages are provided with each platform release. However, the development of NDN software, including NFD, happens much faster than platform releases, so users can download source code from GitHub. If a user wants to run bleeding edge software, those packages must be built from source code.

As a geeky low end box user, I’m thinking: can I run the NDN platform on a Linux box with only a small amount of memory? The box I’m talking about is an OpenVZ container from LowEndSpirit UK location, with only 128MB memory and no swap space. To make the challenge more interesting, I want to avoid apt-get, and run the bleeding edge version built from source code.
