[Ndn-interest] Understanding Named Data Networking

[Ender Minyard]

Hi,

I came across Named Data Networking in this piece of writing
<https://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/> which seemed to claim that Named
Data Networking can address the issue of excessive energy consumption. From
an initial impression, the content delivery strategy of the protocol
reminds me of IPFS CIDs
<https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/content-addressing/>. Is this
over-simplified understanding of Named Data Networking accurate whatsoever?

I did see that there are publications on the website, but I would like to
develop a lay person's understanding of the protocol before getting into
details. I would also like to figure out about other networking protocols
that [are/can be] designed to reduce energy consumption.

I have read the executive summary
<https://named-data.net/project/execsummary/> - if there is another
beginner-friendly resource that you would recommend, please let me know.

Thank you for your time,
Ender
