Forwarding strategies for applications in named data networking

Abstract

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 conict 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.
