36 description = "A Named Data Neworking (NDN) or Content Centric Networking (CCN) abstraction";
38 ndn-cxx is a C++ library, implementing Named Data Networking (NDN)
39 primitives that can be used to implement various NDN applications.
40 NDN operates by addressing and delivering Content Objects directly
41 by Name instead of merely addressing network end-points. In addition,
42 the NDN security model explicitly secures individual Content Objects
43 rather than securing the connection or “pipe”. Named and secured
44 content resides in distributed caches automatically populated on
45 demand or selectively pre-populated. When requested by name, NDN
46 delivers named content to the user from the nearest cache, thereby
47 traversing fewer network hops, eliminating redundant requests,
48 and consuming less resources overall.
