A Named Data Networking Based Fast Open Storage System Plugin for XRootD.

This work presents the design and implementation of an Open Storage System plugin for XRootD, utilizing Named Data Networking (NDN). This represents a significant step in integrating NDN, a prominent future Internet architecture, with the established data management systems within CMS. We show that this integration enables XRootD to access data in a location transparent manner, reducing the complexity of data management and retrieval. Our approach includes the creation of the NDNc software library, which bridges the existing NDN C++ library with the high-performance NDN-DPDK data-forwarding system. This paper outlines the design of the plugin and preliminary results of data transfer tests using both internal and external 100 Gbps testbed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
