Not really. IPFS from what I understand is a P2P application, with filesystem like functionality. NDN on the other hand is a network protocol that is capable to run without TCP/IP (it's actually designed to be able to replace it). They actually built a testbed: https://named-data.net/ndn-testbed/ https://named-data.net/ndn-testbed/ Similarly to TCP/IP you can build application that utilize the protocol. In fact I suspect implementing IPFS in NDN would be much easier than in TCP/IP. In fact looks like someone did just that: https://named-data.net/publications/techreports/ndn-tr-27-ndnfs/ https://named-data.net/publications/techreports/ndn-tr-27-nd... and source code: https://github.com/named-data/NDNFS https://github.com/named-data/NDNFS
