Subject of the talk

Content-centric Networking

Abstract

Computer networking originated as a way to share scarce resources (tape drives, printers, special purpose cpus, …) and the host/port abstraction of TCP/IP is just what it took to extend an I/O channel from machine room to planetary scale. Today the overwhelming use of networking is to move content (email, web pages, video, …). But while the problem has changed our solution hasn’t: we still map content identifiers to hosts and ports for transport. I’ll try to show you that named content is a more appropriate abstraction for the networking we do today and that a communication architecture based solely on named content is simpler, more expressive, more efficient, more scalable and far more secure than anything we currently use.

Access to Tokyo Tech Royal Blue Hall †

The conference room is found at the base of Tokyo Tech Front, which you can see from the exit of Ookayama station. Please refer to this instruction to get to Ookayama station. As Tokyo Tech Front is a new building, Google Maps Street View currently does not show it but you cannot miss it. At the main exit of Ookayama station, you can see a white Apple-store-like building standing in front of you. That is Tokyo Tech Front.
