Abstract

This paper presents an in-depth review of software-defined named data networking (SD-NDN), a transformative approach in network architectures poised to deliver substantial benefits. By addressing the limitations inherent in traditional host-centric network architectures, SD-NDN offers improvements in network performance, scalability, and efficiency. The paper commences with an overview of named data networking (NDN) and software-defined networking (SDN), the two fundamental building blocks of SD-NDN. It then explores the specifics of integrating NDN with SDN, illustrating examples of various SD-NDN models. These models are designed to leverage SDN for NDN routing, caching, and forwarding. The paper concludes by proposing potential strategies for further integration of SDN and NDN and some open research questions. These proposed strategies aim to stimulate further exploration and innovation in the field of SD-NDN.
