The NDN project investigates Jacobson's proposed evolution from today's host-centric network architecture (IP) to a data-centric network architecture (NDN). This conceptually simple shift has far-reaching implications in how we design, develop, deploy and use networks and applications. The NDN design and development has attracted significant attention from the networking community. To facilitate broader participation in addressing NDN research and development challenges, this tutorial will describe the vision of this new architecture and its basic components and operations.
