Abstract

This study is a comparison of resource utilization of video streaming between IP based and NDN based architectures. Named Data Network (NDN) is future Internet architecture which aims to replace today's host-centric IP network with data as first class entity. This simple shift has far-reaching implications for how we develop and use networks and applications. Content distribution applications consume a large amount of bandwidth of today's Internet. NDN supports content distribution intrinsically with its caching functionality. In this study, we develop a testbed using Wi-Fi Direct and measure the bandwidth usage and CPU utilization of NDN-based video streaming application and compare it with video streaming over IP based architecture using VLC Player. Our analysis shows that NDN uses significantly less bandwidth compared to existing IP based architecture. But on the downside, the CPU utilization is fairly high in NDN based network than in IP based network.
