Abstract
A network device in a Named Data Networking (NDN) network receives an Interest from a consumer including a name and an Expected Data Size of data requested through the Interest. The network device forwards the Interest along a path to a producer of the data based on the name. As a result, the network device receives data that has traversed the path in reverse and satisfies the forwarded Interest. The network device determines an actual data size of the received data. The network device compares the actual data size to the Expected Data Size. If the actual data size is greater than the expected data size, and if a level of traffic congestion associated with forwarding the received data to the consumer is below a threshold, forwarding the received data to the consumer along a path based on the name of the data.
