A Practical Congestion Control Scheme for Named Data Networking
Klaus M. Schneider, Cheng Yi, Beichuan Zhang, Lixia Zhang · 2016
Traditional congestion control mechanisms are designed for end-to-end connections and do not fit the Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture, in which content can be retrieved from multiple sources and through multiple paths. To fully exploit the NDN architecture, a congestion control scheme must consider the effects of in-network caching, multipath forwarding, and multicast data delivery. Moreover, the solution must not assume known link bandwidths or Data packet sizes, as these assumptions may not hold for overlay links, wireless links, or applications with varying Data packet sizes.
