Named Data Networking (NDN) uses the content name to enable content sharing in a network using Interest and Data messages. In essence, NDN supports communication through multiple interfaces, therefore, it is imperative to think of the interface that better meets the communication requirements of the application. The current interface ranking is based on single static metric such as minimum number of hops, maximum satisfaction rate, or minimum network delay. However, this ranking may adversely affect the network performance. To fill the gap, in this paper, we propose a new multi-metric robust interface ranking scheme that combines multiple metrics with different objective functions. Furthermore, we also introduce different forwarding modes to handle the forwarding decision according to the available ranked interfaces. Extensive simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme selects the best and suitable forwarding interface to deliver content.

Now-a-days vehicular information network technology is receiving a lot of attention due to its practical as well as safety related applications. By using this technology, participating vehicles can communicate among themselves on the road in order to obtain any interested data or emergency information. In Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET), due to the fast speed of the vehicles, the traditional host centric approach (i.e. TCP/IP) fails to provide efficient and robust communication between large number of vehicles. Therefore, Named Data Network (NDN) newly proposed Internet architecture is applied in VANET, named as VNDN. In which, the vehicles can communicate with the help of content name rather than vehicle address. In this paper, we explored the concepts and identify the main packet forwarding issues in VNDN. Furthermore, we proposed a protocol, named Control of Useless Interests Flooding (CUIF) in Vehicular Named Data Network. In which, it provides the best and efficient communication environment to users while driving on the highway. CUIF scheme reduces the Interest forwarding storm over the network and control the flooding of useless packets against the direction of a Producer vehicle. Our simulation results show that CUIF scheme decreases the number of outgoing Interest packets as well as data download time in the network.
