Named Data Networking based File Access for XRootD

We present the design and implementation of a Named Data Networking (NDN) based Open Storage System plug-in for XRootD. This is an important step towards integrating NDN, a leading future internet architecture, with the existing data management systems in CMS. This work outlines the first results of data transfer tests using internal as well as external 100 Gbps testbeds, and compares the NDN-based implementation with existing solutions.
