Abstract

Named Data Networking (NDN) architectural features, including multicast data delivery, stateful forwarding, and in-network data caching, have shown promise for applications such as video streaming and file sharing. However, collaborative applications, requiring multi-producer participation, introduce new NDN design challenges. in this article, we highlight these challenges in the context of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and one of its most widely-used deployments for NTP server discovery, the NTP pool project. We discuss the design requirements for the support of NTP and NTP pool and present general directions for the design of a time synchronization protocol over NDN, called Named Data Networking Time Protocol (NDNTP).

Abstract
Named Data Networking (NDN), an emerging Internet architecture is altering the basics of the networking model by making content directly addressable and routable. NDN changes the communication model by shifting from the current host-centric model ...
Highlights
- The traditional TCP/IP has several limitations, such as mobility and security.
- NDN tackles TCP/IP issues with its features of content naming, caching, and security.
- This paper discusses the integration of NDN with the current ...
