An activeness-based data forwarding protocol for named data DTN

Named Data Networking (NDN) has been drawing increasing attention in both academia and industry. Data forwarding is one of the key issues in relation to efficient content retrieval in named data DTN. In this paper, we propose an activeness-based data forwarding protocol, named as ADF, to support efficient content retrieval in named data delay tolerant networks. Using the real movement trajectory data in experiment, the simulation results show that the ADF protocol can effectively reduce the transmission delay and network overhead while acquiring the similar success rate, compared to the Epidemic protocol in the case of larger Data packet.
