Forwarding Strategies in ICN networking with a 5G Application

The recent growth of Internet traffic and the forecast of new applications on context of fifth generation of network technology (5G) leads to changes in the communication paradigm of future Internet. The Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new architecture that can cope with the emerging pattern of communication based on named-data instead of their locations. In ICN architecture, Forwarding Strategies (FS) are a relevant feature to improve the network performance. Therefore, this article examines forwarding strategies for an ICN scenario with new 5G applications such as smart grids networking. The results are performed in the ndnSIM simulator and show that the delaybased forwarding strategy was the most suitable for low latency application.
