Serving new interest in named data network

Abstract

Today’s Internet has mostly become content-centric. The distribution of data securely and efficiently is the most important agenda today. Current IP network and content distribution network services are sometimes unable to fulfil all such requirements of data distribution. Named data network (NDN) has emerged as a promising candidate to cope with the use of today’s Internet. Despite providing potential advantages over conventional network such as in-network caching, easier data forwarding, routing, it also leaves few issues unattended. One of such is the probability of finding the corresponding data for a request which has not been served yet by any router. In this paper, we propose a simple probabilistic approach towards it and present the modified algorithm for data forwarding accordingly. We also explain the method by suitable example. The proof of the same in support of our claim is left as a future proposal.
