Deep Learning Forwarding in NDN with a Case Study of Ethernet LAN

In this paper, the authors propose a novel forwarding strategy based on deep learning that can adaptively route interests/data packets through ethernet links without relying on the FIB table. The experiment was conducted as a proof of concept. They developed an approach and an algorithm that leverage existing intelligent forwarding approaches in order to build an NDN forwarder that can reduce forwarding cost in terms of prefix name lookup, and memory requirement in FIB simulation results showed that the approach is promising in terms of cross-validation score and prediction in ethernet LAN scenario.
