Internet Based Routing in Vehicular Named Data Networking

In vehicular environments, the connection between data consumers and producers is not as stable as in the traditional IP architecture. This is due to the mobile nature of the vehicular nodes that causes a change in the location of consumers, producers, and intermediate nodes. Named Data Networking (NDN), when implemented on vehicular networks provides support for efficient data retrieval and mobility. This new paradigm, dubbed Vehicular Named Data Networking (V-NDN) significantly improves content access and dissemination by making a minor change in the conventional IP architecture. The focus is drawn away from the addresses of the consumers and producers and instead, data chunks are made primary citizens in the model, by allowing consumers to refer to data chunks by name. In this paper, V-NDN is introduced along with a survey of the existing forwarding schemes developed so far. An experiment is also conducted where the mobility is checked along with other important parameters.
