Umm.. how about let's NOT replace TCP/IP with anything because it's may be the only well-designed thing on the Internet that actually works? If you want an impossible super-hero project to work on, try replacing HTTP instead - at least you'd actually be solving a problem.
- antocv 12y agoWhats wrong with HTTP? How would you improve it? Its a Text Transfer Protocol, you can even build applications with text only clients and servers. One only needs echo, bash and netcat to make a server and client.

- takeda 12y agoThe people who are involved in NDN had also huge part in making the current TCP/IP work. For example Van Jacobson, whom started the idea and made huge contributions, one of them was implementing congestion control in TCP/IP. Some people don't know but in early 90s the Internet actually collapsed under the traffic and was practically unusable until his fix. Lixia Zhang for example was working on TCP/IP since 1981 she was responsible for Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), which is implemented by almost every major router vendor today for Internet resource management and traffic control applications.
