High-performance Measurement in Adaptive Forwarding of Named Data Networking.

Adaptive forwarding is one unique architectural benefit of Named Data Networking (NDN). However, it suffers from high cost of realtime path performance measurement. We propose efficient measurement techniques in NDN’s adaptive forwarding. Specifically, we eliminate the longest prefix matching operation at each data retrieval by decoupling the measurement and the FIB, which is proved to achieve the same effectiveness of the measurement while saving operation costs when network conditions are stable.
