ENDN - An Enhanced NDN Architecture with a P4-programmable Data Plane

Explore an innovative approach to Named Data Networking (NDN) in this 20-minute conference talk from ACM ICN 2020. Dive into the Enhanced NDN (ENDN) architecture, which introduces a P4-programmable data plane to overcome limitations in traditional NDN design. Learn how ENDN offers an extensible catalog of content delivery services, including adaptive forwarding, customized monitoring, and in-network caching control. Discover the architecture's two main modules: enhanced packet processing and forwarding logic, and understand how they work together to enable sophisticated content delivery functionalities. Examine the novel P4 target architecture that allows for string-based content name processing and independent P4 function execution. Gain insights into the experimental results demonstrating ENDN's ability to achieve network efficiency with low latency, and explore potential future developments in this cutting-edge area of networking research.
