Abstract: Named Data Network (NDN) has various routing and
forwarding strategies, but most of which have failed to achieve the ability
of Quality-of-Service (QoS), such as high resource consumption and
low transmission efficiency. Leveraged by ant-colony optimization (ACO), a
QoS-supported routing forwarding strategy is proposed in this paper to
address those problems. Specifically, the proposed strategy is able to
consistently select a route which meets the QoS requirement and optimal
routing strategy is realized in NDN network. Experimental results show that
the proposed routing strategy outperforms the random forwarding strategy in
terms of average delay, costs, and packet loss rate in NDN.
Keywords: Named data network, routing strategy, QoS, ant-colony optimization
