TL;DR
This paper demonstrates the first real-world implementation of Internet-scale adaptive video streaming over Named Data Networking (NDN), validating its feasibility and performance on a global testbed.
Contribution
It introduces a practical, scalable video streaming service over NDN that requires no user software installation, and validates its functionality through real-world experiments.
Findings
Successful deployment on the NDN testbed since 2019
Effective real-world validation of client, network, and server components
Demonstrated feasibility of large-scale NDN-based video streaming
Abstract
Research in Information-Centric Networking (ICN) and Named Data Networking (NDN) has produced many protocol designs and software prototypes, but they need to be validated and evaluated by real usage on the Internet, which is also critical to the realization of the ICN/NDN vision in the long-run. This paper presents the first Internet-scale adaptive video streaming service over NDN, which allows regular users to watch videos using NDN technology with no software installation or manual configuration. Since mid-2019, the official NDN website has started using our service to deliver its videos to Internet users over the global NDN testbed, showcasing the feasibility of NDN. We conduct real-world experiments on the NDN testbed to validate the proper implementation of the client, network, and server sides of the proposed system and also evaluate the performance of our video streaming service.
