Future Internet and Named Data Networking
“Today we build, support, and use Internet applications and services on top of an extremely capable architecture not designed to support them.”
From the early days when we started with communication, communication has mainly been focusing on connecting two end points. It started with telephony before IP communications was introduced modelled around client-server communication. Today we are less focused on a specific destination to connect, but more focused on acquiring information. As an ordinary network user we mainly focus on getting information, and thus less focused on which server delivering the information as long as we trust the delivered information. Hence, the way we use Internet today is in contrast to the design of IP which is oriented around connecting two end points using IP addresses.
