RLB: Randomized load balanced packet forwarding strategy in name based data networking

Named Data Networking or NDN provides a new generation networking system where routing does not depend on traditional IP address. Rather network nodes route packets based on the given name or the nature of the content. It is very challenging to find the load balanced routing in Named Data Networking system where multiple producers generate different name packets for multiple consumers. We propose randomized load balanced routing algorithm (RLB) for selecting a server or producer to satisfy the clients interest by producing packets to the corresponding client in the client cluster. We do simulation study using NS3-ndnSIM designed for performance analysis and find that our method is justified.
