Forwarding strategy performance in NDN network: A case study of palapa ring topology

Named Data Networking (NDN) is a network architecture that can be considered as a new one. NDN design principles are derived from the success of today's internet. Specifically, NDN network changes communication paradigm of a network to send a packet to be given to an address by having identification process based on the given name. Forwarding strategy is a decision-making strategy regarding to the aim of the forwarding destination, when and where the interest will be forwarded. This study aims to determine the performance of forwarding strategy which is suitable with the required application, because each different application will require a different forwarding behavior. In order to realize this research, a broadcast and bestroute approach are applied by a parameter of analysing cumulative delay distribution in the time interval of observation, whether the difference of forwarding strategy can affect the delay, the NDNSim simulator is used to perform a test and create some scenarios by changing time simulation, the results which are obtained after performing the analysis on these two strategies is the bestroute strategy has a delay which is higher than broadcast strategy. To know the detail results, in this study, the data are also shown in the graph output.
