QoS-FS: a new forwarding strategy with QoS for routing in Named Data Networking

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a novel paradigm for future Internet architectures. The aim of ICN is to accommodate content distribution within the Internet infrastructure. Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of the most popular ICN proposal. This paper presents a design of QoS-FS, a new NDN's adaptive forwarding strategy with quality of service (QoS). At each node of the network, QoS-FS monitors, in real-time, ingoing and outgoing networks' link to estimate the QoS parameters and integrate them into the different decisions taken to determine when and which interface to use to forward an Interest. Therefore, making forwarding decision adaptive to network conditions and user's preferences. We provide simulation experiments to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed solution.
