Adaptive LRFU replacement policy for named data network in industrial IoT

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive least recently frequently used (LRFU) replacement policy is proposed for named data network (NDN) in the industrial internet of things (IIoT) environment. Low-latency network communication has become the main focus in IIoT development. By applying NDN architecture with the proposed replacement policy, the system can minimize the network latency of IIoT due to the NDN router's capabilities to cache content. The simulation result shows that the proposed adaptive LRFU outperforms other popular replacement policies based on various network performances metrics. In addition, future research trends regarding the testbed implementation NDN replacement policy are suggested. (C) 2021 The Authors.
