Abstract
In this article, we investigate the performance of the Pending Interest Table (PIT) of named data networking (NDN) routers in the presence of a collusive interest flooding attack (CIFA), which can overwhelm the PIT and cause delays in content retrieval. We simulate and evaluate the attack’s impact on the PIT occupancy rate and content retrieval delay. The results reveal that the CIFA is highly effective in compromising the performance of NDN routers, leading to high PIT occupancy rates, long content retrieval delays, and degraded overall network performance. The PIT occupancy rate can reach 95.83% during the attack, while the interest retrieval rate is less than 30%. The study highlights the need for effective countermeasures to mitigate the impact of such attacks.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Telecommunications is an international journal publishing original peer-reviewed papers in the field of telecommunications. It covers all the essential branches of modern telecommunications, ranging from digital communications to communication networks and the internet, to software, protocols and services, uses and economics. This large spectrum of topics accounts for the rapid convergence through telecommunications of the underlying technologies in computers, communications, content management towards the emergence of the information and knowledge society. As a consequence, the Journal provides a medium for exchanging research results and technological achievements accomplished by the European and international scientific community from academia and industry.
