The Routing Protocol Efficiency of Named Data Network

An efficient routing protocol is needed in transmitting data on the network, especially on Named Data Network. This means that the routing mechanism must be made in such a way that the data transmission rate is close to the transmission link rate. This study investigates the effect of a geographic-based routing protocol compared to the link state from an efficiency point of view. The system model is built to see the effect of link bitrate, path stretch, packet header, and packet size on the efficiency of the routing protocol in sending data. From the mathematical model, Link State routing is outperformed geographic routing protocol for 24% on average.
