Naming Scheme on Named Data Networking: A Survey

Named Data Networking (NDN) has been introduced as the future internet architecture adopting a new network architecture that impacts changes in the applications developed. NDN brings about the transition from host-centric communication to information-centric communication, where data are masterpieces. The process of retrieving and requesting data on ndn by utilizing the naming scheme. The naming scheme will affect how long it takes to find and obtain the desired data. There are several basic naming schemes, such as flat naming, hierarchical naming, and hybrid naming, where each has a different performance. In addition, there are also several schemes have been modified to optimize the existing scheme such as entropy approach, name component encoding, and smart name lookup.
