IP-to-NDN Integration with Socket Translation Gateway

Internet Centric Networking (ICN) is an architecture with a name-centric mechanism that can solve the network trend over content distribution. Named Data Networking (NDN) is a name-centric protocol that gives each data packet a certain name. This name makes NDN more reliable for future communications. However, if the IP to NDN migration is carried out and all conventional routers are replaced with NDN routers, it will incur an expensive cost. A system is needed that can integrate IP and NDN. Gateway translation will give a certain / prefix to the requested content and change the form of IP data packets into NDN data packets and vice versa. Socket translation gateways can be an alternative to integrating IP architecture with NDN, with better performance results than conventional IP communication.
