NDN is a new network architecture where packets no longer carry information in the form of source and destination addresses but carry the name of data. FIB (Forwarding Information Base) is one of the structures in the NDN routers used for packet forwarding in the network. The FIB contains the information needed for decision-making on where the packet of interest will be forwarded. NDN forwarding process has many strategies such as best route, multicast, access, broadcast, etc. This study discusses the comparison between best-route and multicast forwarding strategies and their effect on traffic load. The simulation is performed on Mini-NDN using a topology consisting of five fully-mesh nodes and two nodes connected to the mesh via a single link. Two single-link nodes are used as producer and consumer. The traffic load parameters used to compare the performance of the best-route and multicast forwarding strategies are average delay of the packet, throughput in the consumer node, and average packets drop. In addition, the simulation is carried out by varying the frequency of interest from the consumer then observing its effect on delay of packet and packet drop.
