Comparing the Performance of TCP/IP with Named Data Networking Using ns-3

Abstract

NDN is a futuristic networking model developed to overcome the limitation of TCP/IP. NDN uses the name of the content rather than user ID (such as IP address) for forwarding and routing. In this work, we have tried to compare the performance of NDN based network with the TCP/IP-based network using the ns-3 simulator. Two topologies, i.e., simple topology and XC topology, are used for the simulation, and a comparison has been made based on the average delay
