I participated in an REU a couple years back working with Named Data Networking. Seems pretty similar... The ahem central problem lies with ourselves: TCP/IP was designed as a communication network, not a distribution network. NDN seeks to be a ubiquitous data distribution network. Iirc, the design helps fend off DDoS.
