“…Contemporary HTTP requests that perform browsing often convey hundreds of bytes (or even kilobytes) of supplemental information in HTTP headers [NJA13] [Ram]. If this meta-information and application-specific data is placed in the Interest name, there may be a significant additional overhead on intermediary NDN routers.…”

Over time the Internet has evolved from a network that interconnects hosts to a network that interconnects information objects broadly defined; these objects range from movie files, Facebook content, twitter messages, to sensor data and authenticated device actuation commands.As a newly proposed architecture to meet this new usage, Named Data Networking (NDN) replaces the host-based addressing scheme by names of information objects in moving packets through the network. In an NDN network consumers send Interest packets carrying application-level names to request information objects, and the network returns the requested Data packets reversing the path of the Interests. As a new way of doing networking, NDN introduces new design patterns for applications. To make the content available in the network, one needs to consider multiple design choices, which range from name structure and security model to more basic issues such as data segmentation. To fetch content, This dissertation addresses the above challenges with the design of a new Consumer / Producer API and its associated protocol suite that can play socketequivalent roles in an NDN network. We demonstrate how the API can be used to invoke the most fundamental communication patterns in an NDN network and also show how stand-alone and web-based applications can be designed on top of the API. While the architecture of NDN is still a subject to the changes, we believe that the Consumer / Producer API framework can be successfully extended to accommodate new protocols, communication patterns and applications.iii The dissertation of Ilya Moiseenko is approved.

“…The first concern is related to stateful packet forwarding in NDN. Contemporary HTTP requests that perform browsing often convey hundreds of bytes (or even kilobytes) of supplemental information in HTTP headers [11] [12]. If this metainformation and application-specific data is placed in the Interest name, there may be a significant additional overhead on intermediary NDN routers.…”

Named Data Networking (NDN) is an information-centric networking architecture that has recently attracted significant attention. At first glance NDN's pure pull-based communication model seems to match the request-reply mechanics of HTTP/Web interactions. In reality, modern Web communication patterns involve passing client-side information and/or application state in requests. As we attempt to apply these communication patterns to NDN, we find that it is not immediately clear how to use NDN effectively. In this paper, we examine multiple diverse approaches to running modern Web-like applications over the NDN communication architecture, discussing advantages and drawbacks of each of the proposed approaches. Our primary goal is to start a focused discussion of how NDN can support modern Web communication patterns effectively.

“…a) Expected differences across browsers: Most of the expected differences between browsers are related to the way TCP connections are managed (Fig 1 (a)-(b)). [7] found that a fraction of TCP connections were terminated after a predefined threshold amount of time. This observation was attributed to the browsers closing persistent connections that were idle for a specified amount of time.…”

“…Methodologically, numerous studies have analyzed web traffic logs collected on highly-aggregated links or proxies [5], [6], [4], [7]-while such aggregated data sources offer rich and voluminous data, they are not suitable for our goal of analyzing the impact of client diversity on the webpage download event, for the following reasons:…”

Abstract-Modern webpages are diverse and complex. There is also a wide range of devices, operating systems, and browsers that users use to access these webpages. In this work, we study how webpages, and the traffic generated by their download, differ across these different client types. We conduct a preliminary study that performs a client-side analysis of the network traffic. We identify both expected and unexpected differences among similar webpages across different browser platforms that can be used to drive future internet measurement research and identify potential design decisions and/or bugs in modern browsers.
