Abstract [en]
Information-centric networking (ICN) with its design around named-based forwarding and in-network caching holds great promises to become a key architecture for the future Internet. Many proposed ICN hop-by-hop congestion control schemes assume a fixed and known link capacity, which rarely - if ever - holds true for wireless links. Firstly, we demonstrate that although these congestion control schemes are able to fairly well utilise the available wireless link capacity, they greatly fail to keep the delay low. In fact, they essentially offer the same delay as in the case with no hop-by-hop, only end-to-end, congestion control. Secondly, we show that by complementing these schemes with an easy-to-implement, packet-train capacity estimator, we reduce the delay to a level significantly lower than what is obtained with only end-to-end congestion control, while still being able to keep the link utilisation at a high level.
