Abstract
A network device among a plurality of network devices in a Named Data Networking (NDN) network receives an Interest from a consumer including a name and an Expected Data Size of data requested through the Interest. The network device forwards the Interest along a path to a producer of the data based on the name. As a result, the network device receives data that has traversed the path in reverse and satisfies the forwarded Interest. The network device determines an actual data size of the received data. The network device compares the actual data size to the Expected Data Size, and performs an action with respect to the received data based on a result of the compare.
