Does anyone here have a grounded opinion about NDN (Named Data Networking)? If that's as new to you as to me, I'm reading here:
back in the day, we called it IPoverATM / VBR-RT with SSCOP signalling.
It seems to have a lot of implications that I'm trying to think through, not the least of which is the idea that the Internet can and must evolve from an end-to-end communication system to [ insert speculative crap for craven private interests here ] ...
yeah, it's all bullshit. perhaps T-Mobile gives "named data" a free pass, but they're not the world, and they're not the endpoints, by any measure!
I am, myself, perpetually sceptical of efforts to start over, or to put policy into the network itself,
anyone putting policy into the network, rather than at the edges, is a robber baron being paid in filthy lucre :P best regards,
