The Named Data Networking (NDN) project (https://named-data.net/project/) aims to develop a new Internet architecture that can capitalize on strengths — and address weaknesses — of the Internet’s current host-based, point-to-point communication architecture in order to naturally accommodate emerging patterns of communication. The NDN research testbed is a shared resource created for research purposes, that include software routers at several participating institutions, application host nodes, and other devices.

UMOBILE Lab, located at AFA Systems (www.afasystems.it), is part of the Named Data Networking (NDN) project.

In the context of NDN, we aim to run several experiment connecting two local wireless networks (at AFA and at COPELABS), being the NDN traffic sent over the NDN testbed. The experiments aim to test an extension of NDN for wireless networks and a set of novel applications, such as Oi! for short messaging and Now@ for data exchange. Both apps are being developed by COPELABS on top of NDN.

We are ready for experimentations over the NDN Testbed!

The 6th and 7th June Fon hosted the 4th UMOBILE plenary meeting in Madrid.

The consortium analysed the system and node architecture development, platform integration and validation, the dissemination, exploitation and standardization of project results.
