A Survey on Detection and Mitigation of Interest Flooding Attack in Named Data Networking

Named Data Networking (NDN) is an instantiation of Content-Centric Networking (CCN) that focuses on the limitation of the current working IP-based Internet architecture. Like any other networks, NDN suffers from many threats that include denial-of-service attack (DoS) or distributed Dos (DDoS). To exhaust the NDN router resources or content provider, DDoS attack can be triggered. This survey paper addresses the interest flooding attack that is one of the DDoS attack types in NDN which tries to overflow the Pending Interest Table of the NDN router and exponentially decreases the NDN router performance.
