This seems neat. Networking isn’t my main area, and I’m still reading about this stuff, so please forgive me if these are dumb questions, but this has raised my curiosity:
Ip does have multicasting, correct? Could multicasting accomplish some of the same one to many goals? Does NdN provide performance/ease of use benefits over multicasting?
From what I can tell, ndn can be implemented over ethernet (preferred) or over ip (mostly defeats the purpose). Is ndn over ethernet actually a thing that can happen now - ie will whatever routers are in the way between various things that want to talk to each other handle it correctly? If not, is this likely to happen in the future? If so, is ndn over ip worthwhile in the meantime, or is it better to wait?
It seems like cool technology, but a lot of what I’ve read suggests that it’s still in developing stages, so it’s unclear how you’d actually use it just now.
Your experience is way outside the norm. Usually it’s very straightforward.
