In designing distributed Social Applications, Named Data Networking simplifies the retrieval of discrete content from changing source locations, and increases network efficiency by caching content at intermediary nodes in a mesh.
This paper examines the challenges and opportunities of using NDN as a platform for Distributed Social Applications through multiple case studies, and introduces NDN BrowserKit, a wrapper library around NDN-js for building/porting NDN enabled Webapps in the browser.
