Although much work has been carried out on the integration of NDN and SDN, the forwarding mechanism to solve the inherent problems caused by the flooding scheme and discard of interest packets in traditional NDN is not well considered. To fill this gap, by taking advantage of SDN, we design a novel forwarding mechanism in NDN architecture with distributed controllers, where routing decisions are made globally. Then we show how the forwarding mechanism is operated for interest and data packets. In addition, we propose a novel routing algorithm considering quality of service（QoS） applied in the proposed forwarding mechanism and carried out in controllers. We take both resource consumption and network load balancing into consideration and introduce a genetic algorithm（GA） to solve the QoS constrained routing problem using global network information. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed routing scheme.展开更多
