Named Data Network (NDN) Scalability Problem

Abstract

Named Data Network (NDN) is one of the research branches that focuses on developing the internet network for the future. NDN as part of the Information-Centric Network, the IETF initiative Research Group, has a paradigm that shifts from conventional internet networks and provides fundamental changes in the implementation of data communication on the internet. Scalability is the ability in the network to overcome problems that arise as more and more entities on the internet. The high intensity of network load with a large number of nodes and content induces a tremendous burden on the internet mechanism. To cope with these NDN mechanisms should be efficient so that with the rapid growth of the network, NDN network performance should not be sacrificed. This paper gives elaboration for NDN research to overcome the scalability issues of the NDN network and brief some challenges for future research.
