| Abstract | It comes as no surprise that lately there has been much talk about future internet architectures. The existing Internet protocols are being overwhelmed due to the growing population of smart, mobile devices and have been futile in handling content requests from customers because of the address-content binding process overhead. In order to address this issue, various Information Centric Networking (ICN) architectures have been considered during the past few years. Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of those prominent ICN approaches on which extensive research has been done and is still being done currently. NDN, without using IP addresses, has straightforward data delivery procedures that can help to improve content distribution in wired networks and wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). However, in MANETs, the performance of NDN may be affected as a result of the broadcast storm problem which occurs during content dissemination in the network. Therefore, in this thesis study, a new forwarding mechanism called ndnMPRForwarder has been proposed to tackle this challenge. In ndnMPRForwarder, NDN employs the Multiple Point Relay (MPR) based packet flooding instead of its default broadcast strategy to mitigate broadcast storming. A real-world implementation consisting of raspberry pis working as nodes in a wireless MANET is set-up as the testbed. The topology has been developed in the most ideal manner to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new forwarding strategy. Finally, testing is done on the topology and evaluation of the results show how ndnMPRForwarder outperforms the default NDN broadcasting strategy. |
