Forwarding Strategies for Applications in Named Data Networking
Hila Ben Abraham, Patrick Crowley · 2016
Named Data Networking (NDN), an information-centric Internet architecture, introduces a new forwarding model, in which the forwarding plane can choose between multiple interfaces when forwarding a packet. While the forwarding module brings new opportunities it also introduces challenges when the application's performance or correctness is affected by a conflict between the application design and the assigned forwarding strategy. In this paper we demonstrate the impact of the forwarding strategy decision on the performance and correctness of NDN applications.
