I still don't understand how this will benefit the internet speed. Don't get me wrong, the built-in CDN (cause that's what this is all about, redistributing data) is kind of good, but would you spend double the money for a router so that it can have a storage device to cache data? Or do you think that your ISP would/should? If so, caching is doable with current infrastructures too, we just don't invest in it... On the other hand if you were to stream from your neighbours' connections.. Well... That would really require a big advance in current line speeds or it would make everyone DDoSed all the time. So as I see it no, the IP protocol really isn't the current bottleneck in today's internet usage speeds. Oh and don't even get me started on device interconnection because it's exactly the same problem but on a different protocol: the problem is how you manage your content (files etc) with software not how it's transported. To move files from a device to the other what's important to develop is better access management (share over 192. ranges, or share on a VPN or share only with a password like ftp etc). A different protocol would only make the respective language's API a bit different, it wouldn't magically create apps and interfaces and systems that would take advantage of it. |

> In Named Data Networking (NDN), packets carry data names instead of source and destination addresses. This paradigm shift leads to a new network forwarding plane: data consumers send Interest packets to request desired data, routers forward Interest packets and maintain the state of all pending Interests, which is then used to guide Data packets back to the consumers. Maintaining the pending Interest state, together with the two-way Interest and Data exchange, enables NDN routers’ forwarding process to measure performance of different paths, quickly detect failures and retry alternative paths. In this paper we describe an initial design of NDN’s forwarding plane and evaluate its data delivery performance under adverse conditions. Our results show that this stateful forwarding plane can successfully circumvent prefix hijackers, avoid failed links, and utilize multiple paths to mitigate congestion. We also compare NDN’s performance with that of IP-based solutions to highlight the advantages of a stateful forwarding plane.

This challenges the notion that IP's statelessness is one of its core strengths.
