That's Van Jacobsen introducing CCNx Content Centric Networking. One way I would summarise it is as a stripped down HTTP at Layer 3. Just think about all the client devices out there that don't actually need IP addresses or the management overhead going with them. After watching this I concluded that IPv6 is an IETF solution to The Wrong Problem (more! faster!). I can't understand why Google would prioritise SPDY over this, they could make Chrome do CCNx over IP to their DCs instead. It's an outstanding talk, I've watched it 3 times now since I found it [0] on HN a few months ago. VJ is a visionary and a gentleman. The FISS09 workshop presentation [1] is about 3 hours, well worth it for a deeper dive. His tour of the history of how packet switching emerged in a telephony circuit dominated industry is a fascinating case study on introducing fundamental change to a legacy incumbent system, as well as the early history of data networking. 0. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3847968 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3847968 1. https://www.ccnx.org/wiki/CCNx/CCNxPresentations https://www.ccnx.org/wiki/CCNx/CCNxPresentations
