Title
NaNET: socket API and protocol stack for process-to-content network communication
Abstract
Inter-process communication (IPC) refers to the set of methods which enable data exchange among processes. When two processes are remote (connected via a network), IPC is realized through the socket and the networking protocol stack implemented at end-hosts. Today, most computer networks rely on the Internet NETtworking socket domains (INET) and the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. Information-centric networking (ICN) is a novel networking paradigm centered around named data rather than named hosts. ICN shifts the communication principle from process-to-process towards process-to-content (PCC) by mean of a novel name-based protocol suite. We propose Named NETworking, a new socket domain and protocol stack that realize PCC a la NDN while remaining compatible with current protocols and standards. Finally we implement NaNET in the Unix operating system as a set of kernel modules.
