[Ndn-interest] Usefulness of routing protocol?

Dear Prof. Lixia Zhang,

I understand your point. In fact, I have read those papers that you
mentioned. However, I believe that existing solutions will require
significant changes before they can work well for NDN. Since these
solutions were designed for a specific networking protocol such as
Zigbee, 802.15.4, 802.11 family and so on. Here when we talk about NDN, we
are moving towards multiple interfaces (faces) as per my understanding.
Moreover, I would like to take your attention to the recent paper published
in the ACM Sigcom Workshop 2013,

http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2013/papers/mcc/p21.pdf

In this paper, the authors intended to mitigate the broadcast storm, since
the battery operated devices might be consuming additional energy to
perform all those searches and forwarding operations enforced by the Naive
NDN approach.

Also, the following survey provides some insights on the forwarding of
interest in NDN enabled wireless ad hoc scenarios.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1084804514001404

To be precise, in mobile environments, I think it is worthy to investigate
the forwarding strategies, and still we need improvements at the
architectural level that should accept the modifications and new forwarding
protocols specific to the application requirements and so. For example, by
exchanging some control messages such as Beacons in case of 802.11p, we can
have some preliminary knowledge about the neighboring nodes and then the
consumer can decide and control the Interest propagation and similarly the
intermediate nodes as well.
