NAMED DATA NETWORKING IN LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

摘要

A named data networking (NDN) architecture may be implemented within a local area network. A local area networking naming convention may be used in relation to named content from a variety of NDN-enabled devices. A network node (such as an NDN gateway or NDN bridge) may manage the local area networking naming convention and assign a name for the named content of the NDN-enabled device. A network-assigned name in accordance with a local area networking naming convention may be used for group control of multiple NDN-enabled devices. An NDN gateway may be used for translating NDN protocol layer communication to an IP network protocol layer. An NDN bridge may be used for bridging NDN protocol layer communication between various different segments of a local area network. NDN-enabled devices may benefit from longer sleep cycles based upon NDN content caching implemented in the local area network.

主权项

1. A method for providing named content in a local area network, the method comprising:
sending, from a first device to a network node, a request for a name to associate with local data of the first device; receiving the name from the network node, wherein the name is in accordance with a local area network naming convention managed by the network node; generating named content based at least in part on the local data of the first device and the name; and communicating the named content to at least one named data networking (NDN)-enabled device in the local area network.
